Greetings, grammar adventurers! Today, we’re on a quest to demystify relative clauses. These clever clauses give us extra information about nouns, making our sentences richer and more detailed. Let’s embark on this linguistic journey together:
- The book that she’s reading is really interesting.
- The girl, who lives next door, is my best friend.
In these examples, “that” and “who” introduce the relative clauses, providing essential information about the nouns “book” and “girl.” So, next time you’re adding extra details to your sentences, remember to call upon the power of relative clauses!
