UNIT 7
THE COMPLEX SENTENCE

Subject, predicative, object and attributive clauses.

We
often joint sentences by putting who or which (relative
pronouns) in place of he, she, it or they. We use who for
people and which for things.
I’ve
got a friend. He collects stamps. – I’ve got a friend who collects stamps.
There’s
a problem. It worries me. – There’s the problem which worries me.

Exercise
1. Join the sentences with who or which.

Beginnings
Ends
Do you
know a shop?
He
lives next door.
I know
somebody.
He
stole my car.
I want
some plates.
She
deals with exports.
I was
at school with the man.
It
isn’t working.
I’d
like to speak to the person.
It
needs to be eaten.
She’s
got friendly with a boy.
It
sells good coffee.
The
police haven’t found the man.
They
last for years.
There’s
some cheese in the fridge.
She
could mend that chair.
We’ve
got some light bulbs.
They
can go in the microwave.
This
is the switch.
He is
driving that taxi.

We
often use that instead of which and instead
of who in an informal style.
There’s
a problem that you don’t understand.
I know
some people that could help you.

Exercise
2. Rewrite four or more of the sentences from Exercise 1 using that.
In
place of him, her, it and them (objects) we
can use who(m), which or that.
Who is
very informal as an object; whom is more formal.
Where’s
that nurse? I saw her last time. – Where’s that nurse who(m)/that I saw last
time?
These
are problems. You don’t have them. – These are problems which/that you don’t
have.

But we
use which to refer to the whole clause. Compare:
The
dentist pulled out the teeth which/that were causing trouble.
(‘Which/that’
just refers to ‘the teeth’.)
The
dentist had to pull out two of my teeth, which was a real pity.
(‘Which
refers to the whole clause before: ‘The dentist ... teeth’.)

Note
that what cannot be used in this way.
He got
the job, which surprised us all.

9.

her.
10.

and superlatives.
We
do not use what in these cases.
I’ve
told you all that I know.

only thing that matters to me is your happiness.

Many great cities of the world
were built hundreds of years ago. During their long history some of them were
destroyed several times for one reason or another, and then rebuilt. London,
for instance, was burnt down in the Great Fire of 1666. When Napoleon’s army
entered Moscow in 1812, the city was nearly empty and in flames. Most of the
houses were soon destroyed by the fire, and many were badly damaged. A lot of
beautiful cities were left in ruins after the World Wars. Serious damage is
done to cities and villages by floods, hurricanes and earthquakes and still
more by wars and industrial pollution.

with Martin is that he never relaxes. He’s always working and he’s always
bad-tempered. He doesn’t tell me what’s wrong, he just sulks. And he interferes
with my possessions. He moves my books around so I can’t find them.” (Bernie
says: “I wish Martin would relax sometimes.”...)

I smoke. I don’t speak Chinese
fluently. I don’t have a car. I’m bad at sport. I don’t like dancing. I’m not
concerned enough about my parents. I don’t work hard. I’m lazy. I sleep days
and nights. I eat junk food very much and ignore doctors. I’m selfish.
