GRAMMAR COMMENT[5, p.18]

Relative clauses. Look at this example sentence: The woman who lives next (relative clause) door is a doctor. A clause is a part of a sentence. A relative clause tells us which person or thing (or what kind of person or thing) the speaker means: * The woman who lives next door ... ('who lives next door' tells us which woman) * People who live in London ... ('who live in London' tells us what kind of people) We use who in a relative clause when we are talking about people (not things). We use who instead of he/she/they: * An architect is someone who designs buildings. * What was the name of the man who lent you the money? * Anyone who wants to do the exam must enter before next Friday. You can also use that (instead of who): * The man that lives next door is very friendly. But sometimes you must use who (not 'that') for people. B. When we are talking about things, we use that or which (not 'who') in a relative clause: where is the cheese? - it was in the fridge -> Where is the cheese that was in the fridge? -> Where is the cheese which was in the fridge? What = 'the thing(s) that'; * What happened was my fault. (=the thing that happened) D. Remember that in relative clauses we use who/that/which instead of he/she/they/it. So we say: * Do you know the woman who lives next door? (not '...the woman she lives next door')
