Relative Clauses Game: rules and examples
A defining relative clause identifies the person, thing or place you mean. It stays next to that noun without commas.
01
People and things
Use who for people and which for things. That can often replace either in a defining clause.
The woman who called is here.
Who replaces the subject she.The letter which arrived is for you.
Which replaces the subject it.
02
Places
Use where when an action happens in or at a place. Where already carries the place meaning.
This is the café where we met.
Do not add in after met.The room where we study is quiet.
The studying happens in the room.
03
Word order and commas
Keep statement word order. Do not repeat the subject or object replaced by the relative word. A clause that identifies which noun you mean has no separating commas.
The man who lives next door is kind.
Do not add he after who.The phone that I bought is broken.
Do not add it after bought.
