Здравствуйте, мои дорогие читатели.

Когда вы слышите фразу «Relative Clause » - о чем вы думаете? Русские люди, которые не любят захламлять свою голову всякими терминами, не сразу найдутся с ответом. А вот если намекнуть им на слова that, which или who, которые часто встречаются в текстах, они сразу же понимают, о чем пойдет речь.

Да, придаточные предложения, или грамматика relative clauses : - тема сегодняшнего разговора. Я постараюсь самым простым способом рассказать вам, что, как и для чего используется. А также мы посмотрим на перевод и defining words , что используются в этом правиле. В конце обязательно закрепим полученные знания

Что это такое и как этим пользоваться?

Relative clause - или на русском определительное придаточное предложение, - это часть сложного предложения, которое зависит от главного. Оно обычно соединяет два маленьких предложения в одно или просто добавляет новую интересную информацию, чтобы вам было понятнее, давайте посмотрим пример.

I have a mother who works as a doctor. — У меня есть мама, которая работает врачом.

I missed the bus that was going to take me to church. - Я пропустила автобус, который должен был отвезти меня в церковь.

Что нам говорит правило?

Правило гласит, что в английском языке определительные придаточные предложения могут быть как identifying (ограничительные) или non-identifying (распространительные).

Если говорить проще, то первые определяют что-то важное в предложении, последние - не определяют. Обычно non-identifying предложения можно выделить запятыми и, соответственно, выбросить из предложения.

Например:

This is the new computer that I bought yesterday. - Это новый компьютер, который я купил вчера.

She was pleased with the present that her father gave her. - Она была рада подарку, который ее отец ей подарил.

В этих примерах часть текста после слова that - определяющая, потому что если их убрать, предложение потеряет важный смысловую нагрузку. Их никоим образом нельзя пропустить или убрать вовсе.

Вот вам хороший пример, который поможет понять существенную разницу.

The students, who had revised the material, passed the test.

The students who had revised the material passed the test.

Если вспомнить правило, то придаточное предложение, выделенное запятыми, можно выбросить из текста. Поэтому получается, что в первом случае все ученики сдали тест (в том числе и те, кто повторил). А вот во втором случае именно те, кто повторил перед тестом, его и сдали!

Чувствуете разницу?

Когда и как используются who, that, which?

Самые распространенные слова, которые используются в relative clause - это who, which, that.

• Who используется только с живыми существами: людьми, животными (именно своими, которых вы знаете!) и т.д.

The girl who was my age had already won this competition. - Девочка, которая была со мной одного возраста, уже побеждала в этом конкурсе.

• Which используется только с неодушевленными предметами.

The catalog which you ordered yesterday will arrive tomorrow. — Каталог, который ты заказал вчера, придет завтра.

• That используется как с одушевленными, так и с неодушевленными существительными.

The book that is on the table is a present for Joe’s birthday. — Книга, которая лежит на столе, это подарок на день рождения Джо.
