GRAMMAR OF U8
RELATIVE CLAUSES

I. DEFINITION:  Mệnh đề quan hệ là mệnh đề tính từ bắt đầu với Who, Whom, Which, That,
Whose, Where, When, Why có chức năng làm rõ nghĩa cho 1 cụm danh từ ngay phía trước nó.
1/ WHO: thay thế cho chủ từ chỉ người.
Ex: I thanked the woman. She helped me.
 I thanked the woman who / that helped me.
The girl is happy. She won the race.
 The girl who won the race is happy.

2/ WHOM: thay thế cho túc từ chỉ người, WHO có thể được dùng thay cho WHOM (WHOM thường
dùng trong tình huống trang trọng hoặc văn viết, ít dùng trong văn nói)
Ex: There are several people. I need to talk to them.
 There are several people who/ whom/ that / Ø I need to talk to.
The man was Mr. Jones. I saw him.
 The man who/ whom / that / Ø I saw was Mr. Jones.

Ex: The book is mine. It is on the table.
 The book which / that is on the table is mine.
The movie wasn’t very good. We saw it last night.
 The movie which / that / Ø we saw last night was not very good. 1
4/ THAT: có thể thay thế cho WHO, WHOM, WHICH trong M ĐQH giới hạn/ xác định (defining
relative cluases)
Ex: The student who / that won the English Competition last month is my classmate.
The man whom / that / Ø I admired most is my Uncle Tom.
We saw the actual spaceship which / that landed on the moon.

5/ WHOSE: thay thế cho tính từ sở hữu. ( sau WHOSE phải có danh từ)

Mr. Catt has a painting. Its value is inestimable.

6/ WHERE, WHEN, WHY: thay thế cho cụm giới từ chỉ nơi chốn, thời gian, lý do.
(có thể dùng dạng giới từ + which).

 The building where he lives is very old.
b/ I will never forget the day. I first met you then (=on that day)
I will never forget the day when I first met you .
c/ Do you know the reason ? She is absent from school today for that reason.
Do you know the reason why she is absent from school today ?

LƯU Ý:
 WHO, WHOM, WHICH, THAT, WHOSE : là các ĐẠI TỪ QUAN HỆ có chức năng làm chủ
ngữ hoặc tân ngữ trong mệnh đề quan hệ.
 WHERE WHEN WHY : là các TRẠNG TỪ QUAN HỆ nên không thể làm chủ ngữ hoặc tân ngữ
trong mệnh đề quan hệ ( vậy sau Where , When, Why là 1 mệnh đề trọn vẹn).

II. TYPES OF RELATIVE CLAUSES: Có 3 loại MĐQH

1/ MĐQH xác định (Defining relative clauses): cần thiết cho nghĩa của câu; khi viết không dung
dấu phẩy để tách ra.
Ex : The book which / that / Ø I borrowed from you is very interesting.
There is one thing which is not explained.
Do you know the man whom / who / that / Ø Tom is talking to ?
The girl who was injured in the accident is now in hospital.

* Lưu ý: Trong MĐQH xác định, đại từ quan hệ làm tân ngữ có thể được lược bỏ.
Ex: The book (which / that) I borrowed from you is very interesting.
Do you know the man (whom / that) Tom is talking to?

Be careful: The man with a large expensive house and fast car who we went to visit was an
insurance salesman. (không thể lược bỏ “who” vì nó cách xa danh từ gốc “the man”)

1
 2/ MĐQH không xác định (Non-defining relative clauses): dùng giải thích thêm cho (cụm)
danh từ đã được xác định rõ. Nếu bỏ MĐQH thì câu vẫn rõ nghĩa, không gây hiểu nhầm. Khi viết
phải dùng dấu phẩy tách ra. Không thể dùng đại từ quan hệ THAT. Không thể lược bỏ đại từ quan hệ
làm tân ngữ.
Ex: My father, who is fifty years old, is a doctor.
Miss Brown, whom we studied English with, is a very nice teacher.
I want to help Peter, whose father is a very good farmer.
Do you like swimming, which is a good sport ?

* Danh từ xác định gồm: - danh từ riêng (không nhầm lẫn)

- danh từ có tính từ sở hữu (my, your,..)
- danh từ có đại từ chỉ định (this, that, these, those)
- danh từ duy nhất, không gây nhầm lẫn

3/ MĐQH nối tiếp (Sentence Relative Clause): giải thích cho cả câu phía trước, chỉ dùng
WHICH và luôn có dấu phẩy.
Ex: We spent a week high up in the mountains, which was wonderful.
It rained heavily, which prevented my going out.
Mary tore Tom’s letter, which made him sad.

III. RELATIVE PRONOUNS WITH PREPOSITIONS

Khi danh từ được nói đến là tân ngữ của giới từ, có thể đặt giới từ trước MĐQH, nhưng chỉ được
dùng WHOM, WHICH.
Ex : She is the woman. I told you about her.
à She is the woman about whom I told you.
à She is the woman who(m) I told you about.
à She is the woman that I told you about.
à She is the woman Ø I told you about.
Fortunately we had a map without which we would have got lost.
The music to which we listened last night was very good.

IV. USING EXPRESSIONS OF QUANTITY IN RELATIVE CLAUSES:

all, most, many, several, some, a few, a number, the majority, the minority, both, half, one, two,
either, neither, none, little… + OF WHICH / WHOM/ WHOSE
Ex: In my class, there are 20 students. Most of them are from HCM City.
à In my class, there are 20 students, most of whom are from HM City.
He gave several reasons. Only a few of them were valid.
à He gave several reasons, only a few of which were valid.
The teachers discussed Jim. One of his problems was poor study habits.
à The teachers discussed Jim, one of whose problems was poor study habits.

V. RELATIVE PRONOUN “THAT”: các trường hợp sau phải dùng THAT:
a/ thay cho cụm danh từ chỉ người và vật.
Ex: He told me about the places and people that he had seen in London.
b/ sau các tình từ so sánh nhất, the first, the last, all, the only, the very (chính là) 1
Ex: This is the most interesting film that I’ve seen.
 She was the first person that broke the silence.
That is the last letter that he wrote.
All that he can say is this.
I bought the only book that they had.
You’re the very man that I would like to see.
c/ sau các đại từ bất định:
Ex : He never says anything that is worth listening to.
I’ll tell you something that is very interesting.

Chú ý:
 Không dùng “THAT” sau dấu phẩy và sau giới từ.
 Phân biệt MĐQH với cấu trúc chẻ để nhấn mạnh:
It is / was + phần cần nhấn mạnh (chủ ngữ, tân ngữ. cụm giới từ…) + THAT + phần còn lại của
câu
Ex: It was Vietnam that hosted the 22nd Sea Games in 2003.
It was in 2003 that Vietnam hosted the 22nd Sea Games.

2. Read the passage below and choose the best answer from the four options marked A, B, C or D.
Considering their wedding cost over £20,000 and took a year and a half to organise, you would be
surprised to hear that Richard and Victoria Hammond now intend to forget it.
"It was a terrific day at one of the country's most deluxe resort. Everyone was so happy," says
Victoria, "but we have so much we want to do together now." Her husband agrees: "Both our minds are
now fixed firmly on the future. Our marriage is so much more important than the wedding." 1
 "At the moment, we are still living with Richard's parents," explains Victoria, "so our first wish is to
find our own place, maybe in the suburb, but it should have all modern facilities." Richard adds that they
plan to have two or three children. "We both have many siblings and they encourage us to add to the
extended Hammond family."
The young couple has just returned from a two-week honeymoon in an authentic Scottish castle. Both
are big travel lovers and Richard hopes they will go travelling as much as possible together "I'd love
to be her company to every corner of the world!" Victoria, however, says that her real wish is to go on
safari but Richard has no interest in wildlife. That means she might have to fulfill this ambition alone.
About the marriage itself, the couple emphasizes the importance of talking with each other. "We are
not always in great harmony. However, it is communicating that has helped us to be reconciled. Now
marriage is a brand-new start, isn’t it?" Victoria smiles.

II. READING
1. Fill in each of the numbered blanks in the following passage with one suitable word.
Taking piano lessons and solving math puzzles on a computer significantly improve
specific math skills of elementary schoolchildren, according to a new study. The results, (1)
were published in the journal Neurological Research, are the latest in a series that links musical
training to the development of higher brain functions.
Researchers worked with 135 second-grade students at a school in Los Angeles after (2)
a pilot study with 102 students. Children that were given four months of piano training as
well as time playing(3) newly designed computer software scored 27 percent higher on
math and fraction tests than other children.
Piano instruction is thought to enhance the brain’s “hard wiring” for spatial-temporal
reasoning, or the ability to visualize and transform objects in space and time, says Professor
Gordon Shaw, who led the study. At the same time, the computer game allows children to solve
geometric and math puzzles that boost their ability to (4) shapes in their mind.
The findings are significant (5) a grasp of proportional math and
fractions is a prerequisite to math at higher levels, and children who do not master these areas of
math cannot understand move advanced math that is critical to high-tech fields.

2. Read the passage below and choose the best answer from the four options marked A, B, C or D.
There is always conflict between people because we have different needs and wants. For example,
you may want to see an action movie but your significant other wants to see a comedy or you may prefer
eating at a Mexican restaurant while your spouse wants Chinese. However, you have known each other
well for years and will work it out.
In the workplace, there is always conflict as well but it's usually more difficult to resolve than with
personal relationships. There are differences between workers, between workers and supervisors,
between departments, between companies, between companies and their customers, between companies
and their governing bodies and on it goes. These relationships are usually not as deep or trusting as
personal ones making resolving disputes more difficult and challenging.
Interestingly, most workplace conflict is totally unnecessary because they are usually the result of
simple misunderstandings, miscommunications or small differences that could be easily resolved if the
parties truly knew each other's motivations. Unfortunately, at work there is rarely the opportunity to
develop deep personal relationships and when you add the complexity of cross-cultural differences and
the gulf can seem insurmountable. Culture brings unique perspectives on deadlines, conflict resolution,
speaking one's mind, working as a team and much more. 1
 However, with a little training and education people will recognize that they have a lot more in
common than they have differences. When cross-cultural conflict is resolved and employees with diverse
backgrounds and skills start to work together, the potential and promise of diversity in the workplace can
be fully realized.

Desert, one climbs into a pine forest at 7,000 feet and a treeless alpine tundra at the summit. It may seem
that plants at a given altitude are associated in what can be called “communities” – groupings of
interacting species. The idea is that over time, plants that require particular climate and soil conditions
come to live in the same places, and hence are frequently to be found together. Scientists who study the
history of plant life are known as paleobotanists, or paleobots for short. They build up a picture of how
groups of plants have responded to climate changes and how ecosystems develop. But are these
associations, which are real in the present, permanent?
A great natural experiment took place on this planet between 25,000 and 10,000 years ago, when
small changes in the earth’s orbit and axis of rotation caused great sheets of ice to spread from the poles.
These glaciers covered much of North America and Europe to depths of up to two miles, and then, 1as the
climate warmed, they retreated. During this retreat, they left behind newly uncovered land for living
things to colonize, and as those living things moved in they laid down a record we can read now. As the
ice retreated and plants started to grow near a lake, they would release pollen. Some would fall into the
lake, sink to the bottom, and be incorporated into the sediment. By drilling into the lake bottom it is
possible to read the record of successive plant life around the lake.
