Relative Clauses Exercises (B1) — Free
Relative clauses: who, which, that, where, whose and when
A relative clause gives more information about a noun. Use 'who' for people (the man who lives next door), 'which' for things and animals (the bike which I bought), 'where' for places (the town where I grew up), 'whose' for possession (the girl whose bag was stolen) and 'when' for times (the day when we met). In defining clauses, which tell us exactly who or what we mean, you can also use 'that' for people and things. Non-defining clauses add extra information and go between commas: here you can't use 'that', only 'who' or 'which' (My sister, who lives in Canada, is a nurse). Use 'which' after a comma to talk about a whole idea (I passed, which made me happy). A common mistake is to repeat the object or the pronoun inside the clause: 'the book that I bought it' should be 'the book that I bought'.
