Pronomi relativi - introduzione

who, which, that

Le proposizioni relative ci dicono di che persona o cosa qualcuno sta parlando, o ci danno più informazioni su quella persona o cosa.

Usiamo "who", "which" e "that" come pronomi relativi per:

• sostituire il soggetto o l'oggetto
• introdurre una proposizione relativa
• collegare proposizioni separate in una frase singola.

Esempio

1. The man is an English teacher. He lives in London.
    
2. 

Nel secondo esempio, "who" introduce la proposizione relativa. La proposizione relativa deve avere un soggetto così "who" sostituisce "He" per non ripetere "He" o "The man".

La proposizione relativa dice all'ascoltatore di quale uomo si sta parlando.

Usiamo

• "who" per persone
• "which" per cose
• "that" per persone e cose.

Esempio

1. What is a fork?
    
2. 

Altri esempi

This is the woman. She works in my office.

A woman called. She wanted your email address.
The woman who / that called wanted your email address.

This is the book. I enjoyed it.
