1. Mệnh đề xác định (Defining relative clauses)

- Là mệnh đề được dùng để xác định danh từ đứng trước nó, cần thiết cho ý nghĩa của câu; không có nó câu sẽ không đủ nghĩa. Tất cả các đại từ quan hệ được sử dụng trong mệnh đề xác định.

Example: Do you know the name of the man who came here yesterday?

The man (whom / that) you met yesterday is coming to my house for dinner.

➨ Mệnh đề xác định không có dấu phẩy

2. Mệnh đề không xác định (Non – defining clauses)

- Là mệnh đề cung cấp thêm thông tin về người hoặc vật, không có nó thì câu vẫn đủ nghĩa.

Example: Miss Linh, who taught me English, has just got married.

➨ Mệnh đề không xác định có dấu phẩy và Mệnh đề này không được dùng “That”

3. Các dạng mệnh đề Quan hệ

a. Relative Pronouns (Đại từ quan hệ)

1. WHO:- Thay thế cho danh từ chỉ người: ….. N (person) + WHO + V + O

Ví dụ: The woman who lives next door is a doctor.

2. WHOM: - Thay thế cho danh từ chỉ người: …..N (person) + WHOM + S + V

Ví dụ:  George is a person whom I admire very much

3. WHICH: - Thay thế cho danh từ chỉ vật: ….N (thing) + WHICH + V + O

….N (thing) + WHICH + S + V

The machine which broke down is working again now

4. THAT: Mệnh đề quan hệ xác định:

Là mệnh đề cần phải có trong câu, nếu bỏ đi mệnh đề chính sẽ không có nghĩa rõ ràng. Đối với loại câu này, đại từ quan hệ làm tân ngữ có thể được bỏ đi. Ta có thể dùng từ that thay thế cho who, whom, which...

Mệnh đề quan hệ không xác định:

Trước và sau mệnh đề này phải có dấu (,). Trường hợp này ta KHÔNG ĐƯỢC dùng từ “that” thay thế cho who, whom, which và không được bỏ đại từ quan hệ trong mệnh đề này.

Ví dụ 1: My father is a doctor. He is fifty years old ➨ My father, who is fifty years old, is a doctor.

Ví dụ 2: Mr Brown is a very nice teacher. We studied English with him. ➨ Mr Brown, who(m) we studied English with, is a very nice teacher.

• Trường hợp bắt buộc dùng that và không được dùng that:

Trường hợp phải dùng that: sau một danh từ hỗn hợp (vừa chỉ người, vừa chỉ vật hoặc đồ vật). Ví dụ: We can see a lot of people and cattle that are going to the field

 - Sau đại từ bất định: Ex: I’ll tell you something that is very interesting.

 - Sau các tính từ so sánh nhất, ALL, EVERY, VERY, ONLY:

Ex: This is the most beautiful dress that I have.

  All that is mine is yours.

You are the only person that can help us.

 - Trong cấu trúc It + be + … + that … (chính là …) Ex: It is my friend that wrote this sentence.

•  Trường hợp không dùng that: mệnh đề có dấu (,), ĐTQH có giới từ đứng trước.

Lưu ý: giới từ chỉ đứng trước whom và which, không đứng trước who và that

Ví dụ: Peter, who/whom I played tennis with on Sunday, was fitter than me.

Or:  Peter, with whom I played tennis on Sunday, was fitter than me.

 Not: Peter, with who I played tennis on Sunday, was fitter than me.

5. WHOSE: Đại từ dùng để chỉ sở hữu cho danh từ chỉ người hoặc vật, thường thay cho các từ: her, his, their, hoặc hình thức ‘s: …..N (person, thing) + WHOSE + N + V ….

Ví dụ: I met someone whose brother I went to school with

b. RELATIVE ADVERB (TRẠNG TỪ QUAN HỆ)

Trạng từ quan hệ có thể được sử dụng thay cho một đại từ quan hệ và giới từ.

Ví dụ: This is the shop in which I bought my bike. ➨ This is the shop where I bought my bike.

Trạng từ quan hệ	Nghĩa	Cách sử dụng	Ví dụ
when	in/on which	Đại diện cho cụm thời gian	the day when we met him
where	in/at which	Đại diện cho nơi chốn	the place where we met him
why	for which	Đại diện cho lí do	the reason why we met him

1. WHY:Trạng từ quan hệ why mở đầu cho mệnh đề quan hệ chỉ lý do, thường thay cho cụm for the reason, for that reason.: …..N (reason) + WHY + S + V …

Example: I don’t know the reason. You didn’t go to school for that reason. → I don’t know the reason why you didn’t go to school.

2. WHERE: Trạng từ quan hệ để thay thế cho các từ/cụm từ chỉ địa điểm, nơi chốn.

….N (place) + WHERE + S + V …. (WHERE = ON / IN / AT + WHICH)

Example: a/ The hotel wasn’t very clean. We stayed t that hotel. → The hotel where we stayed wasn’t very clean.

Example: The restaurant where we had Lunch was near the airport.

3. WHEN:  Là trạng từ quan hệ để thay thế cho cụm từ/từ chỉ thời gian.

….N (time) + WHEN + S + V … (WHEN = ON / IN / AT + WHICH)

Example: Do you still remember the day? We first met on that day.

➨ Do you still remember the day when we first met?

➨  Do you still remember the day on which we first met?

Example: I don’t know the time. She will come back then. ➨ I don’t know the time when she will come back.

That was the day. I met my wife on this day. ➨That was the day when I met my wife.

**Lưu ý cần nhớ trong mệnh đề quan hệ

1. Nếu trong mệnh đề quan hệ có giới từ thì giới từ có thể đặt trước hoặc sau mệnh đề quan hệ (chỉ áp dụng với whom và which.)

Example: Mr. Brown is a nice teacher. We studied with him last year.

• ➨ Mr. Brown, with whom we studied last year, is a nice teacher.

• ➨ Mr. Brown, whom we studied with last year, is a nice teacher.

2. Có thể dùng which thay cho cả mệnh đề đứng trước.

• Example: She can’t come to my birthday party. That makes me sad. → She can’t come to my birthday party, which makes me sad.

3. Ở vị trí túc từ, whom có thể được thay bằng who.

• Example: I’d like to talk to the man whom / who I met at your birthday party.

4. Trong mệnh đề quan hệ xác định , chúng ta có thể bỏ các đại từ quan hệ làm túc từ:whom, which.

• Example: The girl you met yesterday is my close friend. The book you lent me was very interesting.

5. Các cụm từ chỉ số lượng some of, both of, all of, neither of, many of, none of … có thể được dùng trước whom, which và whose.

• Example: He asked me a lot of questions. I couldn’t answer most of them. ---> He asked me a lot of questions, most of which I couldn’t answer.

6. KHÔNG dùng THAT, WHO sau giới từ.

• Ví dụ: The house in that I was born is for sale.

c. MỆNH ĐỀ RÚT GỌN - REDUCE RELATIVE CLAUSES

1. Active: Nếu mệnh đề quan hệ là mệnh đề chủ động thì rút thành cụm hiện tại phân từ (V-ing).

Ví dụ: - The man who stands at the door is my uncle. => The man who is / was standing at the door is my uncle.

  - The man who stood at the door is my uncle.=> The man standing at the door is my uncle.

2. Passive: Ta có thể dùng past participle (V²_ed) để thay thế cho mệnh đề quan hệ  khi mang nghĩa bị động

Ví dụ: - The woman who is / was given a flower looks / looked very happy => The woman given a flower looks / looked very happy.

3.  Rút thành cụm động từ nguyên mẫu - Infinitive relative clause (active / passive)

Mệnh đề quan hệ được rút thành cụm động từ nguyên mẫu (To-infinitive) khi trước đại từ quan hệ có các cụm từ: the first, the second, the last, the only hoặchình thức so sánh bậc nhất. Ví dụ

Ever since human have inhabited the earth, they have made use of various forms of communication. Generally, this expression of thoughts and feelings has been in the form of oral speech. When there is a language barrier, communication is accomplished through sign language in which motions stand for letters, words, or ideas. Tourists in foreign countries, for example, the deaf, and the mute have had to resort to this form of expression. Many of these symbols on the whole are very interesting and exact, many can be used internationally; however, some can be confused for different requests or expressions.

Body language transmits ideas or thoughts by certain actions, either intentionally or unintentionally. A wink can indicate that person is only joking. A nod signifies approval while shaking the head indicates a negative reaction.

Other forms of non - linguistic language can be found in Braille (a system of raised dots on paper read with finger tips), signal flags, Morse Code and smoke signals.
