Relative Clauses Remember! A clause is a group of words that makes sense and has both a verb and a subject. Clauses that cannot stand alone as a simple sentence are called ‘dependent’ or ‘subordinate’ clauses.

Relative clauses are a special kind of dependent clause.

They are ‘relative’ because they always start with a pronoun or adverb that relates the clause to what it is describing.

who

whic

h

th a t

who m

whe

why

re

when

se who

Relative clauses act as adjectives. Identify the ones below that are describing the nouns in bold. Underline the relative pronouns in pink and put round brackets around the clauses in blue.

the doctor (whom I saw twice last year) the tripod that he bought for his camera my niece whose birthday is in September the castle which they built in the twelfth century the weightlifter who won first prize in the competition Some relative clauses start with ‘where’, ‘when’ and ‘why’. These adverbs replace such phrases as ‘in which’, ‘on which’, ‘at which’ and ‘for which’, which are used in more formal language.

Rewrite the noun phrases below, replacing the ‘which’ phrase with the correct adverb.

the day on which the triplets were born the ancient city in which the treasure was found

why

where when

the reason for which octopuses have eight tentacles the museum at which we saw the foreign coins

the year in which she won the heptathlon the reason for which triceratops had three horns

The Active and Passive Voice When the subject of a sentence is doing the verb action, we are writing in the active voice.

subject doing verb action (+ object) = active voice subject receiving verb action (+ ‘by’ + agent) = passive voice When we do not know who is doing the verb action, or we think that the object is more important, we can rewrite the sentence in the passive voice.

We do this by turning the object into the subject and by using the verb ‘to be’ with the past participle.

Decide which of the sentences in each pair is written in the active voice and which is written in the passive. Start by identifying the verb and subject. Then think about whether the subject is doing the verb action or receiving it.

The yacht was sailed by the crew.

The crew sailed the yacht.
