4 Which relative pronoun refers to places in the text?
Relative Pronouns — Ministry book
- who → refers to people
- whom → refers to people (more formal, often as an object)
- whose → shows possession
- which → refers to things or animals
- that → refers to people, things, or animals (informal, very common)
- when → for time
- where → for places
We can omit the relative pronoun:
- When it is the object of the relative clause: The book (that) I bought is interesting.
- In informal English (spoken/written casually)
- When the relative clause is in the passive voice: The car (which was) stolen last night has been found. → The car stolen last night has been found.
- When using the present participle instead: The man (who is) talking to my father is my teacher. → The man talking to my father is my teacher.
1 The family ___ invited me for dinner was incredibly kind.
2 Istanbul, ___ is Turkey's largest city, is famous for its hospitality.
3 The moment ___ I arrived, they offered me tea and food.
4 The guest house ___ we stayed had a very friendly owner.
5 The woman ___ daughter speaks English helped translate for us.
6 Cultures ___ value community often show more hospitality.
Defining vs Non-defining relative clauses — Ministry book
- Defining relative clause gives essential information. Without it, the sentence would be incomplete. No commas. e.g., The students who study hard always get good marks.
- Non-defining relative clause adds extra information. The sentence still makes sense without it. Use commas. e.g., My brother, who studies hard, always gets high marks.
- Note: We cannot use "that" instead of "who" and "which" in non-defining clauses.
1 The man which helped me was very kind.
2 The restaurant where we ate there was excellent.
3 People, who are hospitable, make others feel welcome.
4 The country that I visited there had amazing hospitality.
5 The woman whose her house we stayed in was like a mother to us.
1 I have a friend. He lives in Alexandria.
2 My teacher is very kind. She helped me yesterday.
3 Cairo is a big city. It has the famous Nile River.
Answer: I'd call them hospitable hosts.
