RELATIVE CLAUSES

Relative clauses with who and that
• Look at this sentence:
The man gave me some money.
If we want to describe the man, we can use an adjective [old, thin, young, etc):
The old man gave me some money.
• However, sometimes the information we want to give is more complicated.
The old man met me at the airport. He gave me some money.
The two sentences can be combined, to show w hich old man gave me
the money:
The old man who met me at the airport gave me the money.
who met me at the airport is a clause (a mini-sentence in the larger
sentence). It is a called a relative clause because it relates to ( = connects
with) a noun in the larger sentence.
FORM
• Relative clauses are often indicated by who (for people) and that (for things
and sometimes for people). The relative clause is placed immediately after the
noun which it describes.
I was talking to a person who worked with my father.
That's the car that crashed into our house.
