Relative clauses

What is a relative clause?

We can use relative clauses to join two English sentences, or to give more information about something.
I bought a new car. It is very fast.
→ I bought a new car that is very fast.
She lives in New York. She likes living in New York.
→ She lives in New York, which she likes.

Defining and Non-defining

A defining relative clause tells which noun we are talking about:
  • I like the woman who lives next door.
    (If I don't say 'who lives next door', then we don't know which woman I mean).
A non-defining relative clause gives us extra information about something. We don't need this information to understand the sentence.
  • I live in London, which has some fantastic parks.
    (Everybody knows where London is, so 'which has some fantastic parks' is extra information).

Defining relative clauses:

1: The relative pronoun is the subject:
First, let's consider when the relative pronoun is the subject of a defining relative clause.
We can use 'who', 'which' or 'that'. We use 'who' for people and 'which' for things. We can use 'that' for people or things.
The relative clause can come after the subject or the object of the sentence. We can't drop the relative pronoun.
For example (clause after the object of the sentence):
  • I'm looking for a secretary who / that can use a computer well.
  • She has a son who / that is a doctor.
  • We bought a house which / that is 200 years old.
  • I sent a letter which / that arrived three weeks later.
More examples (clause after the subject of the sentence):
  • The people who / that live on the island are very friendly.
  • The man who / that phoned is my brother.
  • The camera which / that costs £100 is over there.
  • The house which / that belongs to Julie is in London.

2: The relative pronoun is the object:
Next, let's talk about when the relative pronoun is the object of the clause. In this case we can drop the relative pronoun if we want to. Again, the clause can come after the subject or the object of the sentence. Here are some examples:
(Clause after the object)
  • She loves the chocolate (which / that) I bought.
  • We went to the village (which / that) Lucy recommended.
  • John met a woman (who / that) I had been to school with.
  • The police arrested a man (who / that) Jill worked with.
(Clause after the subject)
  • The bike (which / that) I loved was stolen.
  • The university (which / that) she likes is famous.
  • The woman (who / that) my brother loves is from Mexico.
  • The doctor (who / that) my grandmother liked lives in New York.

Non-defining relative clauses:

We don't use 'that' in non-defining relative clauses, so we need to use 'which' if the pronoun refers to a thing, and 'who' if it refers to a person. We can't drop the relative pronoun in this kind of clause, even if the relative pronoun is the subject of the clause.
(Clause comes after the subject)
  • My boss, who is very nice, lives in Manchester.
  • My sister, who I live with, knows a lot about cars.
  • My bicycle, which I've had for more than ten years, is falling apart.
  • My mother's house, which I grew up in, is very small.
(Clause comes after the object)
  • Yesterday I called our friend Julie, who lives in New York.
  • The photographer called to the Queen, who looked annoyed.
  • Last week I bought a new computer, which I don't like now.
  • I really love the new Chinese restaurant, which we went to last night.

Prepositions and relative clauses

If the verb in the relative clause needs a preposition, we put it at the end of the clause:
For example:
  • listen to
The music is good. Julie listens to the music.
→ The music (which / that) Julie listens to is good.
  • work with
My brother met a woman. I used to work with the woman.
→ My brother met a woman (who / that) I used to work with.
  • go to
The country is very hot. He went to the country.
→ The country (which / that) he went to is very hot.
  • come from
I visited the city. John comes from the city.
→ I visited the city (that / which) John comes from.
  • apply for
The job is well paid. She applied for the job.
→ The job (which / that) she applied for is well paid.

Whose

'Whose' is always the subject of the relative clause and can't be left out. It replaces a possessive. It can be used for people and things.
The dog is over there. The dog's / its owner lives next door.
→ The dog whose owner lives next door is over there.
The little girl is sad. The little girl's / her doll was lost.
→ The little girl whose doll was lost is sad.
The woman is coming tonight. Her car is a BMW.
→ The woman whose car is a BMW is coming tonight.
The house belongs to me. Its roof is very old.
→ The house whose roof is old belongs to me.

Where / when / why

We can sometimes use these question words instead of relative pronouns and prepositions.
I live in a city. I study in the city.

→ I live in the city where I study.
→ I live in the city that / which I study in.
→ I live in the city in which I study.
The bar in Barcelona is still there. I met my wife in that bar.

→ The bar in Barcelona where I met my wife is still there.
→ The bar in Barcelona that / which I met my wife in is still there.
→ The bar in Barcelona in which I met my wife is still there.
The summer was long and hot. I graduated from university in the summer.

→ The summer when I graduated from university was long and hot.
→ The summer that / which I graduated from university in was long and hot.
→ The summer in which I graduated was long and hot.

Connection (Conjunction)

Conjunctions

A conjunction is a word that "joins". A conjunction joins two parts of a sentence.
Here are some example conjunctions:
Coordinating ConjunctionsSubordinating Conjunctions
and, but, or, nor, for, yet, soalthough, because, since, unless
We can consider conjunctions from three aspects.

Form

Conjunctions have three basic forms:
  • Single Word
    for example: and, but, because, although
  • Compound (often ending with as or that)
    for example: provided that, as long as, in order that
  • Correlative (surrounding an adverb or adjective)
    for example: so...that

Function

Conjunctions have two basic functions or "jobs":
  • Coordinating conjunctions are used to join two parts of a sentence that are grammatically equal. The two parts may be single words or clauses, for example:
    - Jack and Jill went up the hill.
    - The water was warm, but I didn't go swimming.
  • Subordinating conjunctions are used to join a subordinate dependent clause to a main clause, for example:
    - I went swimming although it was cold.

Position

  • Coordinating conjunctions always come between the words or clauses that they join.
  • Subordinating conjunctions usually come at the beginning of the subordinate clause.

Kirim Pesan Langsung ke Zuckerberg, Bayar US$100

Layanan ini akan menjadi sumber penghasilan baru bagi Facebook.

Kirim pesan ke Mark Zuckerberg bayar US$100 


VIVAnews - Ingin berkirim pesan ke artis atau selebritis idola langsung di Facebook? Maka anda harus rela merogoh kocek dalam-dalam. Pasalnya, Facebook akan menerapkan bayaran bagi mereka yang ingin berkirim pesan pada orang yang tidak termasuk dalam jaringan pertemanan.

Salah satu contohnya adalah mengirim pesan ke Mark Zuckerberg, pendiri Facebook. Biasanya, jika seseorang di luar jaringan pertemanannya ingin mengiriminya pesan, maka akan masuk ke "mailbox" yang lain, yang belum tentu akan dibalas atau sekedar dibaca.

Namun Desember tahun lalu, Facebook mengatakan akan mulai menerapkan berkirim pesan berbayar. Jadi jika ada siapapun yang ingin menghubungi Zuckerberg, maka akan langsung masuk ke inbox pribadinya.
Namun untuk menikmati layanan ini, para pemilik akun akan dikenakan biaya. Awalnya, Facebook belum akan mengumumkan berapa jumlah bayaran tersebut.
Situs Mashable akhirnya mencari tahu dan menemukan bahwa untuk menyurati Zuckerberg, Facebook mematok harga US$100 atau sekitar Rp972 ribu.

Harga yang sama juga berlaku untuk bersurat ke COO Facebook Sheryl Sandburg, CFO David Ebersman, dan beberapa petinggi laman media sosial ini. "Kami tengah menguji harga tertinggi untuk melihat kerja sistem pemfilteran spam," kata perwakilan Facebook dilansir CNNMoney.

Surat berbayar ini akan menjadi salah satu sumber pemasukan Facebook ke depannya. Sebelumnya, kebanyakan penghasilan Facebook berasal dari iklan. Nanti, pemasukan Facebook akan diambil langsung dari satu miliar anggotanya yang ingin menyapa selebritis. (adi)
