Use of English. Relative clauses

Use of English. Relative clauses

By Munira Alimzhanova

​We use Relative Pronouns (who, whose, which, that) an relative adverbs (where, when, why) to introduce relative clauses. We use relative clauses to identify\describe the person\place\thing in the main clause.

​

The man who owns the restaurant is an old friend. ​

In this sentence ​who owns the restaurant is a relative clause.

​

​Человек который (кто) владеет рестораном мой старый друг.

​

​Сонымен біз, сөйлемдегі тұлғаны\орынды\затты анықтап немесе сипаттау ушін relative clause қолданамыз. Ол үшін біз who, whose, which, that және where, when, why қолданамыз.
