TEMA: RELATIVE CLAUSES

ACTIVIDAD BÁSICA
RELATIVE CLAUSES
Las relative clauses , son enunciados u oraciones subordinadas, las cuales usan un pronombre relativo (relative pronoun)
para referirse a un sustantivo (persona o una cosa) mencionado antes y sobre el que queremos agregar más información. Los pronombres
relativos pueden referirse a algo o alguien en singular o plural.
 Who (quien) Solo se puede utilizar “who” con personas.
Ejemplos: My sister, who just moved in with me, is looking for a job.(Mi hermana, quien se acaba de mudar conmigo, está buscando trabajo.)
I never met someone who didn’t like music.(Nunca he conocido a alguien a quien no le guste la música.)
 Which (el cual-los cuales- la cual- las cuales) Sólo se puede utilizar con las cosas.
Ejemplos: My new job, which I only started last week, is already very stressful.(Mi nuevo trabajo, el cual solo empecé la semana pasada, ya es
muy estresante.)
The house which we lived in when we were children burnt down last week.(La casa en la cual (o en la que) vivíamos cuando éramos niños se
quemó la semana pasada.)
 Whose (cuyo,cuya, cuyos, cuyas ) El uso de “whose” indica posesión, tanto para las personas como para las cosas.
Ejemplos: That is the girl whose parents got divorced last year.(Esa es la chica cuyos padres se divorciaron el año pasado.)
Paul, whose wife just had a baby, will not be at work for a few weeks.(Paul, cuya esposa acaba de tener un bebé, no irá a trabajar durante unas
semanas.)
 When (cuando) se refiere a tiempo, where ( en donde) se refiere a lugares y why(por eso) se refiere a motivos
Estos adverbios relativos a veces se utilizan en lugar de un pronombre relativo para hacer la frase más fácil de entender
Ejemplos:
The university where I teach is an excellent school.(La universidad donde enseño es una escuela excelente.)
I can’t remember the day when I called Susan (No recuerdo el día cuando llamé a Susan)
Karol is sick, that´s why she didn’t go to school. (Karol está enferma , es por eso que no fue al colegio)

 Non-defining Relative Clauses (clausulas relativas no determinantes)

Estas cláusulas agregan información adicional. Se utilizan comas para separar la cláusula relativa del resto de la oración. No se puede utilizar
“that” en lugar de “which” o “who” en este tipo de cláusula.
Ejemplos: My friend Tony, who is an excellent writer, is helping me with my English paper.(Mi amigo Tony, quien es un escritor excelente, está
ayudándome con mi redacción de inglés.)
The report, which my boss asked me to write last week, still isn’t finished.(El informe, que mi jefe me pidió que escribiera la semana
pasada, todavía no está terminado.)

Defining Relative Clauses (clausulas relativas determinantes)

Estas cláusulas definen el sustantivo e identifican a qué cosa o persona nos referimos. No se usan comas con este tipo de cláusula.
Ejemplos: I wrote the report which you asked for.(Escribí el informe el cual (que) me pidió.)
She never met the man who saved her father’s life.(Nunca conoció al hombre quien salvó la vida de su padre.)
