In this lesson, we're going to look at the use of words such as 'who', 'whom', 'whose', 'which', 'that' etc. when they are used as relative pronouns to connect two clauses. We will also look at when you can drop these words in a complex sentence.

A little about me:
My name is Minoo. I’m originally from Iran, and I live and work in the U.K.
I’m a qualified English teacher and teacher trainer, but that’s not what makes me good at my job.
I just love teaching! It makes me feel good when I can share something I’ve learned with others. That’s why I still love teaching English after 40 years of doing it!
English is such a vast and complicated language! My passion is to make it as easy as possible for others to learn. My students always praise my ‘clear explanations’ and 'structured method'.
I suppose I can explain things well because I’m not a native speaker. I’ve struggled with English pronunciation, grammar, and vocabulary myself. I’ve had to work out the rules and learn the exceptions, and I just love sharing my own discoveries with others like me who are learning English as a foreign language.
Thank you so much, everyone, for all the ‘likes’ and your lovely and supportive comments! I'm so grateful for your support!
Reach C1 fluency by joining my complete course at app.anglo-link.com/. This teacher-guided online course includes weekly LIVE Lessons and Workshops with me + a Members' WhatsApp Conversation Club to boost your speaking skills. Memberships start from US$6.50 per month.
The fact that the uploader is still active in the comment section is amazing!
It's the least I can do in response to the positive comments I receive.
@@AngloLinkEnglish awwww that's so sweet...
Hi Minoo,
It amazed me how you can explain the lesson down to the last details in under 20 minutes and your explanations are so concise & clear. Grammar lessons can be boring to watch but I never feel bored watching your lessons. You’ve inspired me to follow in your footsteps and I love your accent too. Thanks so much Minoo. You’re amazing!!!
Thanks a lot, Lily, for your lovely comment! I'm so glad that you've found my lessons easy-to-follow and helpful. Best wishes to you.
Thank you very much for this explanation.
Really you are the best teacher that I have ever seen :)

Good morning I would like to improve my English language. Just To know if you can correct my mistake ..
Hi Minoo,
I know this lesson has been on CZcams for a few years now but I’m so thankful to have come across it by chance. I love love the way you describe relative pronouns and how to use them. I’ve observed many other CZcams instructors besides you, and so far you’re the best of the bests. I’m planning on going back to school to become an English teacher overseas in Asia. You’re my inspiration Minoo!!! Thank you and greetings from the USA.
Hello Lily,
Thank you for your lovely comment! I'm delighted to have inspired you in this way, and wish you all the very best with your teaching career in Asia.
Age cannot wither nor custom stale its infinite variety...
You're so very welcome.
Thought you might like to be reminded of that.
Blessings

Let's just skip the video and fail our exams
Brilliant material with all examples. Thank bunch👍
Thank you!
I'm a 68-year-old American native English speaker. Thank you for this comprehensive discussion! I consider the use of "that" to often be a mark of laziness and less correctness. It drives me crazy to hear people saying "person that" instead of "person who". But I hear this from popular radio hosts all the time. Sadly, it appears that "who" as a relative pronoun is dying.
You're welcome! Yes, 'who' is a lot more elegant, so it's a shame that 'that' is replacing it.
My teacher gave this as an assignment to watch and, trust me it helped me alot all my queries are gone
I'm glad this was helpful to you!
My teacher sent this school work in the Google classroom 😁👍.and now i understand.😊👍
That's great!
I Really thank you because you always prove that my deductions about the grammar is correct and complete them

You're welcome. Good luck with your test.
Would you explain me "in which"coming sentence?
the video lesson I've just watched in your youtube channel really helped a lot.
I'm very glad to read this.
It is a well-prepared lesson. Thanks a bunch🙏
You are welcome!

شكرا جزيلا ☺️
You're very welcome.
"Not to use 'that' for non-defining relative clauses".
I started this video to know whether or not I could use that. I got my answer. Thanks! I owe you.
+Vikrant Hardas
Great! I'm glad you found the answer to your question.
Thank you very much . great explanation like always .
+saman soran
You're welcome, Saman. I'm glad you've enjoyed this lesson.
@@AngloLinkEnglishI don't think so I hate you just jk
It's amazing explanation that I have ever seen about this topic.
Thank you too much
You are most welcome!
The explanation is epically SURREAL. Thank you very much.
My pleasure ... I think!
What about those special situations like, for example, 'to whom' 'in which' ? what are they called...? I'm so confused
They're still the relative clauses, except that the preposition starts the clause rather than the pronoun.
Thank you for all your videos. I love this chanel.
I love your explaining. Thank you so much for the video.
You are very welcome!
Who refers to people

hi
Foaz Albshir THANK U
Foaz Albshir f
Scooby Doo: I agree Foaz Albshir.
I picked the word "who" as mentioned, to get more information, about a person or people, previously mentioned
Roseanne Tellez of WGN: your correct, remember my teacher at school
Donna Kelley: she explains it
Joyce Kulhawik of WBZ: we can used the army, *who* really does know
Larry King: we agree, 2 relative words have, "who" are we?
DJ Khaled: another one
Diana Williams of WABC: another one? DJ Khaled?
Paula Zahn: hardly, Harlem shake
Robosoft 3: later, after these girls are mentioned from Scooby
Scooby: oh sphincter
What about whom?
Thank you for the explenations, maybe if you stick at the formal english it would be easy to follow, somtimes when you give both formal and informal it's alot for my littel brain 😊
You're welcome, Hind!
I know there's so much information at once! It will help if you take some notes for yourself.
I often follow Minoo's classes which give me ideas for my own grammar lessons.
Thank you for your great lessons.
My pleasure!
i swear her English is fluent
i like the way she explains also very very clear keep it up
Thank you!
Anglo-Link i never knew you would answer cuz some youtubers ignore me lol
That's the least I can do to say thank you for your support. Happy studies!
@@AngloLinkEnglish thank you ! i swear you are the best teacher i wish you were my teacher

I've compared almost all teaching English CZcams channels, and I've decided your channel is one of the best, but my brain is burning. Your classes are immaculate. I'll share it with the other people on a social network. Good luck and see ya round! =)
+Knightsudd's Cave
Thank you very much for your vote of confidence and for sharing my classes on your social network. Your support is greatly appreciated.
wow thank u u have helped prepare for my presentation tomorrow morning if God wills
You're welcome. I hope your presentation went well.
I have a question about point 9. Can i write "whose the origins were unknown"? I don't understand why there is "of which".
Not when the article 'the' is present: .... painting of which the origins ... / ..... painting the origins of which .... OR .... painting whose origins ...
Anglo-Link Thank you very much ;) Greetings from Poland 😀
You're most welcome.
In the sentence: "The library where we met is the largest in the city." Should I write "where we met" between commas?
If you put it in commas, then you must have mentioned which library in a previous sentence. If this is the first time you mention it, then 'where we met' becomes a defining clause and must not be in commas.
@@AngloLinkEnglish thank you!
@@AngloLinkEnglish in non defining we never drop the relative pronoun,right?but we could omit the relative pronoun with defining relative clause?another arguement..related to the example in the comment..could we say: the library in which we met?
It is such a good lesson that I learned clearly. Greetings from Turkey.
Glad to hear that!
Lovely detailed information. Thank you for sharing all this information with us.
Glad it was helpful!
That's a great way to get my English improve !

Thank you!

Hi
unquestionably you're a very gifted teacher.
Cheers
Thank you very much, Louis!
Thank you for helping me greetings from Indonesia, the lesson you gave really helped me once again, thank you🙏🙏
I'm very glad to read that!
In the very last sentence, 'I don't know the reason this has happened' sounds a bit awkward...
It does a little, but it's grammatically correct.
thanks, this video makes me more confident on teaching
Glad to hear that!
Very efficient lessons, thank you.
You're very welcome.
I'm wondering if we can say " The book that its cover is blue" as a replacement for " The book whose cover is blue" ? .... I believe it's both grammatically & formally correct, am I right? 😊
Although the meaning is expressed, I'm afraid that's not an acceptable formulation in English.
In my 35 years of teaching British English, I have neither read nor heard this structure, or come across it in any grammar book. However, you may want to ask an American, Australian, or South African teacher of English. It may be acceptable in other versions.
You may want to ask the question in one of these forums. Someone may have an answer:
english.stackexchange.com/
forum.wordreference.com/
@@AngloLinkEnglish Thanks for the clarification. I believe this would apply to "The man whom we borrowed (his) book" as a replacement for "The man whom we borrowed the book (from)" & "The man whose book we borrowed". It must be incorrect as well based on your answer, mustn't it?
it is 3 am now, I didn't understand everything
but I am wondering if it because i am stupid or because my brain is off now
Definitely the latter! 3 a.m. is not the best time to study English grammar!
All of thanks to you, this is very important site in which I can see and improve my power in English
You're very welcome, Mohammed!
Thank you so much! that will help me pass and get a high mark!!!

You said that what is not a relative pronoun,but you used "what" question 6
Yes, to remind you that it's not used as a relative pronoun.
This might sound odd but i feel like the fonts you use make your teaching methods more effective. If this was intentional it really helped! Most videos I watch use aerial which is rather bland therefore making it more boring.
Thank you! I'll pass on your compliment to the person who creates my slides.
Thank you very much.Great work .
You're most welcome.
thanks for your time! subscribed! I learned so much things from you..
Thank you, Ibrahim!

For places, times and reason: where, when, why, that
