Defining relative clauses

Funcion: We use defining relative clauses to give essential information about someone or something – information that we need in order to understand what or who is being referred to. A defining relative clause usually comes immediately after the noun it describes.

We usually use a relative pronoun (e.g. who, that, which, whose and whom) to introduce a defining relative clause (In the examples, the relative clause is in bold, and the person or thing being referred to is underlined.):

·        They’re the people who want to buy our house.

·        Here are some cells which have been affected.

·        They should give the money to somebody who they think needs the treatment most.

·        [talking about an actress]

·        She’s now playing a woman whose son was killed in the First World War.
