Relative Clauses

Watch this video about the relative clauses, please:




Check this link and practise relative clauses:
http://www.ego4u.com/en/cram-up/grammar/relative-clauses



And here you have got an explanation in Spanish:

Defining and Non -Defining Relative Clauses. Short explanation.
Cuando queremos añadir información sobre alguien o algo en una frase, lo hacemos a menudo con una oración de relativo. La oración de relativo se pone inmediatamente detrás del nombre que hace referencia a la persona o cosa de la que estamos hablando.
- The girl who came into the room was tall and dark.

who came into the room es la oración subordinada de relativo que hace referencia a The girl. De hecho, las oraciones de relativo tienen una función similar a la de los adjetivos y por eso también las llamamos a veces oraciones subordinadas adjetivas.

Por medio de una oración de relativo podemos unir dos oraciones. Para ello utilizamos los pronombres relativos who, which o that.
- I've got a friend. He collects stamps. -> I've got a friend who collects stamps.

- There's a problem. It worries me. -> There's a problem which worries me.

Para personas, utilizamos who; Para cosas se usa which. That se puede utilizar tanto para personas como para cosas en estilo informal y, por lo tanto, es correcto siempre para las oraciones de relativo especificativas (defining clauses)
- The man that lives there is my teacher.

- I have got the book that you need.

Hay dos tipos de oraciones de relativo: oraciones de relativo especificativas ('defining' relative clauses) y oraciones de relativo explicativas ('non-defining' relative clauses).

Las oraciones de relativo especificativas, p.e. The man that is going to marry Mary is called Bruce, describen al nombre (man) y son necesarias para la comprensión de la oración.

Las oraciones de relativo explicativas, p.e. Bruce, who is going to marry Mary, is a car salesman, dan más información sobre el nombre (Bruce) pero no son necesarias para la comprensión de la oración.

Muchas oraciones de relativo comienzan con un pronombre relativo. El pronombre relativo funciona normalmente como sujeto o complemento del verbo de la oración de relativo.
Pronombre relativo como sujeto del verbo en las oraciones de relativo especificativas:
a) personas como sujeto:

- Mary is the only girl that / who interests Arthur

b) cosas como sujeto:

- The book that / which was on the desk is mine.

Cuando el pronombre relativo es el objeto del verbo en las oraciones de relativo especificativas, es posible, especialmente en inglés hablado, omitirlo:
a) personas como objeto:

- She is the girl (that / who) he met in the pub.

b) cosas como objeto:

- That is the punch (that / which) John mixed.

Cuando el verbo en las oraciones de relativo especificativas va seguido de una preposición (p.e. look at, speak to), se puede omitir el pronombre. Las preposiciones en las oraciones de relativo se colocan normalmente al final de la oración de relativo:
a) personas como complemento de una preposición:

- The person (that / who) I got this letter from lives in Italy.

b) cosas como objeto de una preposición:

- Is that the knife (that / which) you cut the cake with?

En inglés muy formal, también se puede poner la preposición delante de whom o which:
- The police found the man for whom they had been searching = The police found the man (that / who) they had been searching for.

- The company for which he works is very successful = The company (that / which) he works for is very successful.

Entre las combinaciones de verbo + preposición más corrientes encontramos: look for, look after, look at, be in, be from, be for, speak to, be interested in, be surprised by / at, go to, go into, go out with, work in / at, work for, sell to, buy from, live in, stay at, write with, write to, etc.


La oración de relativo explicativa no forma parte integral de la oración y es en realidad otra forma de unir dos oraciones principales que tienen la misma importancia.
El nombre que precede a una oración de relativo explicativa debe ir separado de ella por una coma.
No se puede utilizar that en las oraciones de relativo explicativas. Se debe usar who o which en las oraciones de relativo explicativas:
- Arthur went to the main hall, which was filled with students.

- He saw Mr Trafford, who gave him his timetable.

- They each said a few words, after which everybody left.

- My father, who is a bank clerk, lives in Jaén.

Podemos unir oraciones con whose para sustituir a his, her o its:
- Look at that girl. Her brother is a footballer. -> - Look at that girl whose brother is a footballer.

oraciones de relativo especificativas con el adverbio relativo where.
- This is the station where (=at which) we get off.

oraciones de relativo especificativas con el adverbio relativo when.
- There were one or two days when (=on which) they found themselves prisoners in the cottage.
