Grammar review
Relative clauses: who, which, whose
Relative clauses give more information about a noun (a person, place, thing, or idea) without starting a new sentence. This exercise focuses on three relative pronouns:
Who — for people:
Example: The teacher who helped me was kind.
Which — for things or animals:
Example: The book which you lent me was great.
Whose — shows possession, for people or things:
Example: The girl whose bike was stolen is upset.
2. Types of Relative Clauses
Defining (restrictive): Gives essential info about the noun. No commas.
Example: The students who study hard get good grades.
Non-defining (non-restrictive): Adds extra, non-essential info. Uses commas.
Example: My brother, who lives in Spain, is visiting soon.
Good to know: whom and that are also part of the relative pronoun family, but they aren't tested in this particular exercise.
