Relative Clauses

Relative Clauses 

İsimleri niteleyen sıfat cümlecikleri ilgi zamirleri (relative pronouns) kullanılır. Niteleme, tanımlama zamirleri: that, which, who, whom, whose.

Relative Clause’da tekil ismi tanımlayan cümlede fiil “es” takısı alır. Noun clause’da yan cümle tekil olsa bile fiil “es” takısı almaz.

-    It is earth’s gravity that gives people teir wight.

 

Relative clause:

•    That: tanımlayıcı (defining) sıfat cümleciklerinde who, whom yerine de kullanılır.

•    Which: replaces for things. Canlı olmayan varlıklar ya da insan dışındaki canlılar niteleneceği zaman relative clause, “which” ya da “that” kullanılır.

•    Who: replaces person in subject to ask which person does an action or which person is a certain way.

•    Whom: replaces person in object. Whom" is an object pronoun like "him," "her" and "us." We use "whom" to ask which person receives an action.

•    Whose: Özneleri farklı olan iki cümlede tanımlanan isimli cümle tanımlayan cümlede sahiplik içeriyorsa, hem insanlar hem de nesneler için whose kullanılır. Nesneler için nadiren “of which” de kullanılır.

 

Sınavda gramer sorularında bir isimden sonra boşluk verilmişse, aranacak ilk seçenek sıfat cümleciği olmalıdır. İndirgemeye dikkat edilmelidir. Cümle tamamlama sorularında isimle fiil arasında boşluk var ise seçeneklerde “who, whose, which (that)” aranmalıdır. Sıfat cümlecikleri niteledikleri ismin sonuna gelir, bundan dolayı sıfat cümmleciğinden önce isim gelir..

·       “,       .” yapısında boşluğa “that, in, at” gelmez.

·     “The belief, idea, fact, reality, view” den sonra which gelmez, that gelmelidir.

·          fiil / yardımcı fiil” var ise bu boşluğa “who, which, that” gelir. Diğerleri gelmez.

·     N + preposition (in, on, at, during..) + “which or whom” uyumuna dikkat edilmeldir. Preposition’dan sonra bağlaç “that” gelmez.

 

Sıfat cümleciklerinde noktalama:

Ek bilgi veren sıfat cümleciklerinden sonra virgül “,” gelir.

… , which /when /where /whose + cümle

… , preposition + which + cümle

… , miktar belirteci + which + cümle

…, Ving ( sadeleşen aktif sıfat cümleciği )

…, V3 ( sadeleşen pasif sıfat cümleciği )

“That” den önce asla virgül gelmez. Çünkü “that” ek bilgi veren sıfat cümleciklerinde kullanılmaz.

 

“Coordinator which” tekil fiil alır. “Coordinator which” bir cümleden sonra gelir. Bir cümle indirgenmiş yapının önünde bulunur.


 

 

Özneyi tanımlayan ya da niteleyen sıfat cümleciklerinde “who, whom, that” kullanılması: Cümlenin  öznesi  hakkında  tanım   ya  da  niteleme  yapılır.          İki cümlede de aynı özne söz konusudur. İsim ile fiil arasına girer.

Non-defining clauses give extra information about the noun, but they are not essential.

If a preposition is used with the relative pronoun, this preposition can either precede the pronoun or follow the verb.


 

Eylemlerin aldığı preposition’lar ilgi zamirlerinden önce de kullanılabilir. Nitelenen isim kendisini niteleyen cümlenin öznesi ya da nesnesi olsun bir şey değişmez.

Preposition + whom (insan) Preposition + which (cansız / hayvan)

Preposition + whose + noun (possessive)

 

Kullanılmayan yapılar: Preposition + that + clause Preposition + that in + clause

Preposition + who / where / when …
