Unit 5 GRAMMAR
RELATIVE CLAUSES

We use relative clauses to post modify a noun - to make clear which person or thing we are
talking about.
We use relative clauses to join two English sentences, or to give essential information about the person,
place or thing we are talking about.
She lives in New York. She likes living in New York. = She lives in New York, which she likes.
Relative pronouns (who, which, whose, whom, that, where, when…) introduce relative clauses.

When the relative pronoun When the relative pronoun When we talk about

TIME WHEN That was the summer when it rained every day.

PLACE WHERE That is the hotel where we stayed.

REASON WHY Can you tell me the reason (why) you lied to me?

1 THAT. That replaces who or which but is never used after commas or prepositions.
Ann, who is very clever, did the puzzle in five minutes. (that is impossible here).
There's something that you don't know.
She's the tallest girl that I've ever seen.

2 PREPOSITIONS IN RELATIVE CLAUSES. We avoid using prepositions before relative pronouns.

That's the girl with whom I went to the party. (very formal)
That's the girl (who/that) I went to the party with. (less formal, more usual)

3 WHO, WHOM, WHICH, THAT can be omitted when there is a noun or a pronoun between the relative
pronoun and the verb, that is, when they are OBJECTS of the relative clause.
The clock (which / that) I bought yesterday does not work. (which / that can be omitted)
Where is the ring (which / that) George gave you? (which / that can be omitted)
A person who repairs cars is a mechanic. (who cannot be omitted)

RELATIVE CLAUSES can be DEFINING and NON-DEFINING.

DEFINING RELATIVE CLAUSES give necessary information and is essential to the meaning of the
main sentence. This clause is not put in commas. Who, which and that can be omitted when they are the
object of the relative clause.
This is a book (which) my friend wrote. People who smoke damage their health.

NON-DEFINING RELATIVE CLAUSES give extra information and it is not essential to the meaning of
the main sentence. In non-defining relative clauses we use commas and a relative pronoun cannot be
omitted. Also, that cannot replace who or which.
Mr Brown, who lives next door, went to Australia last week.

Unit 5 READING

A new-born baby can see, hear and feel. By the age of five, a child can talk and ride a bike.
How does this development happen? We don’t really understand the way language and thinking
develop in the brain. Now scientists are using new technology to help them in their studies. They
are discovering new information about the way a baby’s brain develops.
A study in 2010 showed that the experiences a child has in their first few years are important.
These experiences affect the development of the brain. The study showed when children receive
more attention, they often have higher IQs. Babies receive information when they see, hear and
feel things. This information makes connections between different parts of the brain. There are a
hundred trillion connections in the brain of a three-year-old child.
One experiment studied how new-born babies’ brains react to different sounds. The sounds
were in different patterns. For example, the sounds mu-ba-ba make the pattern ‘A-B-B’. And the
sounds mu-ba-ge make the pattern ‘A-B-C’. The results of the study showed that babies know
the two patterns are different. Patterns are important in language. The order of words is
important to grammar and meaning. For example, ‘John killed the bear’ doesn’t mean the same
as ‘The bear killed John.’ Both sentences have the same words, but they are in a different order.
The experiment shows that babies start to learn grammar rules from the beginning of their life.
Language is important for child development. Babies can hear language in various ways:
listening to television, audio books or the Internet and interacting with people. A scientist,
Patricia Kuhl, compared two groups of nine-month-old American babies. Both groups heard
Mandarin Chinese sounds. The first group watched videos. In the second group, people spoke
the same sounds to the babies. Then they tested the babies. The second group recognised the
different sounds. The first group learned nothing. Patricia Kuhl said this result was very
surprising. It shows that social interaction is important to successful brain development in babies.
