RegisterRegister refers to the level of formality e.g. a letter of application would be written in a more formal register than a postcard to a friend. |
relative adverbsWhen 'where, when and why' are used to link clauses, they are classed as relative adverbs. E.g., This is the house where I was born. It was beautiful early spring when we met. I don't really know why I said that. |
relative clauseA subordinate clause that describes a noun. Defining relative clauses specify who or what is referred to. Examples: That's the man who was rude to my mother. This is the dress which I bought yesterday. John's the bloke that she used to be married to. It was the squirrel they had seen on the roof. Non-defining relative clauses are enclosed by commas and just give additional information. Examples: The children, who were really enjoying themselves, didn't want to leave the party. The question of Brexit, which no one seemed able to solve, was in the news again. Non-defining relative clauses always require a relative pronoun. |
relative pronounThat, which, who, whom and whose are considered relative pronouns when they are used to introduce a relative clause. That's the man who was rude to my mother. Can anyone tell me whose coat this is? She turned off the news, which was depressing. If a relative pronoun in a defining relative clause refers to the object of the main clause, it can be omitted: John's the bloke (that/who) she used to be married to. It was the squirrel (that/which) they had seen on the roof. This is the dress (that/which) I bought yesterday. |
