Combine sentences using relative clauses.

Key notes:

What is a Relative Clause?

• A relative clause is a part of a sentence that gives extra information about a noun.
• It begins with a relative pronoun 👉 who, whom, whose, which, that.

🔹 Example:

• The boy is my friend. He is wearing a red cap.
  ✅ The boy who is wearing a red cap is my friend. 👦🧢

• Whom → refers to people (object form) 🙋
• Whose → shows possession 📖
• Which → refers to things/animals 🐶📚
• That → refers to people or things 🧍‍♂️👜

Why Use Relative Clauses? 🤔

• To join sentences smoothly.
• To avoid repetition.
• To make writing more interesting. ✍️🌟

Types of Relative Clauses

1️⃣ Defining Relative Clause – gives essential information.
👉 The book that is on the table is mine. 📘

2️⃣ Non-defining Relative Clause – gives extra, non-essential info (use commas).
👉 My brother, who lives in London, is a doctor. 🧑‍⚕️🌍

How to Combine Sentences 💡

🔹 Step 1: Find two sentences with the same noun.
🔹 Step 2: Replace the repeated noun with a relative pronoun.
🔹 Step 3: Combine into one sentence.

✔ Example:

• I saw a girl. She was dancing.
  👉 I saw a girl who was dancing. 💃
