GRAMMAR: Defining relative clauses

Defining relative clauses

● Defining relative clauses are used to identify which particular person, place or thing is being talked about. The defining relative clause is usually connected to the main clause by a relative pronoun such as who, which, that, where or when.

-We use who (and sometimes that) to refer to people;

which and that to refer to things and animals;

where to refer to places and when to times.

Whose is the possessive form of who.

-They affect the people who inhabit the region.

-An iceberg is a huge piece of ice which floats in the ocean.

-Areas that have a tundra climate include Russia and North America.

-Places where there is a tropical climate are near the Equator.

-The months when heavy rain falls follow months of dry weather.

-He’s the man whose daughter I met in Jordan.
