Relative Clause 關係從句Miss Cheng (Olivia)

常用的 Relative Pronoun 關係代名詞• Who ( 人 )• That ( 事物 )• Which ( 事物 )• Where ( 地方 )• Whose ( 擁有 / 誰的… )

• 關係代名詞 (Relative Pronoun) 是說明它前面的東西 ( 人/ 事 / 物 ) 。

• 即你要把 Pronoun (who, which….) 放在要說明的東西後面。The lady who likes cheesecakes is my aunt.

你要說明” the lady”, 所以把” who” 放在她後面Relative clause: who likes cheesecakes

Defining Clause (No comma)限制性從句- 說明 / 指明人和事- Defining Clause 不用加 comma 即逗號我在課上說了 , 在課室裡戴帽的男生是 Peter,班裡有很多男同學 , 你要指明誰是 Peter.

Non-defining Clause (with comma)非限制性從句• Add information ( 補充、添加資料 )
