RELATIVE CLAUSES Son oraciones subordinadas que empiezan con un pronombre de relativo y hacen la función de un adjetivo modificando a un nombre, junto al que se hallan, y que se llama antecedente.
Pronombres relativos Who sustituye a una persona en función de sujeto Whom sustituye a una persona en función de complemento Whose sustituye a un posesivo, se traduce como cuyo Which sustituye a una cosa When sustituye a un complemento circunstancial de tiempo Where sustituye a un complemento circunstancial de lugar
El tipo de ejercicio más frecuente es en el que te dan dos oraciones y te piden que las combines con una oración de relativo. En ese caso tienes que buscar algo que se repita en las dos oraciones y que no sean el mismo pronombre: Jane is a university student. She wants to become a lawyer. Susan has bought a new house. We lived there in 2004. La segunda oración siempre es la de relativo Jane is a university student. (She wants to become a lawyer). Susan has bought a new house. (We lived there in 2004). Lo que está subrayado en la oración de relativo se sustituye por el pronombre relativo que le corresponda y se pone siempre al principio de la oración de relativo: Jane is a university student. (who wants to become a lawyer). Susan has bought a new house. (where we lived in 2004). Y ahora toda la oración de relativo se pone al lado del antecedente que es la palabra subrayada en la oración principal. Jane, who wants to become a lawyer, is a university student. (Esta oración de relativo va entre comas porque es explicativa) Susan has bought a new house where we lived in 2004. (Esta oración de relativo no va entre comas porque es especificativa)

ORACIONES DE RELATIVO ESPECIFICATIVAS Y EXPLICATIVAS Especificativas: me dan una informaci贸n importante para reconocer el antecedente. Explicativas: no es importante la oraci贸n de relativo para reconocer al antecedente porque es un nombre propio o el 煤nico en su especie; va entre comas la oraci贸n de relativo.

Carol, whom I saw buying some fish, is organizing a party. They are working with Mary. Her sister lives near us. They are working with Mary, whose sister lives near us. Last year I went to Paris.
