Изучаем English Unit 92. Relative clauses 1: clauses with who / that / which
Unit 92; Part A
 Look at this example sentence: |
| • An architect is someone who designs buildings. • What was the name of the person who phoned you? • Anyone who wants to apply for the job must do so by Friday. You can also use that (instead of who), but you can't use which for people: • The woman that lives next door is a doctor. (not the woman which) Sometimes you must use who (not that) for people - see Unit 95. |
Unit 92; Part B
When we are talking about things, we use that or which (not who) in a relative clause: |
| • I don't like stories that have unhappy endings. (or stories which have ...) • Barbara works for a company that makes furniture. (or a company which makes furniture) • The machine that broke down is working again now. (or The machine which broke down) That is more usual than which, but sometimes you must use which - see Unit 95. |
Unit 92; Part C
What = 'the thing(s) that'. Compare what and that:• What happened was my fault. (= the thing that happened)
• Everything that happened was my fault. (not Everything what happened)
• The machine that broke down is now working again. (not The machine what broke down)
Unit 92; Part C
Remember that in relative clauses we use who/that/which, not he/she/they/it:• I've never spoken to the woman who lives next door. (not the woman she lives)
