Hello! :)

Reținem că în limba engleză, pronumele relativ este utilizat pentru:

1. a ne referi la substantive folosite în propoziția anterioară (fie că aceste substantive desemnează oameni, animale, lucruri, idei, locuri);

2. a uni două propoziții.

Cele mai comune pronume relative în limba engleză sunt: who, that, which (cine/care), where (unde), when (când).

* who pentru persoane;

* which pentru obiecte;

* that pentru persoane și obiecte.

După cum urmează:

(1) People who visit Cornwall return frequently. (defining)

(2) We visited the village of Polperro, which was once a busy fishing centre. (defining)

(3) You can see the exact place where the first wireless signal was sent across the Atlantic to Canada. (non-defining)

(4) South-west England is a region which attracts visitors all the year round. (non-defining)

(5) The writer Daphne du Maurier who wrote a short story called The Birds, lived near Fowey. (defining)

(6) The Scilly Isles, where the climate is mild all the year, are well worth a visit. (non-defining)
