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.
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,
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...
As a native British sometimes even I need a quick reminder, really nicely done, thank-you :)
You're most welcome.

Your channel is not only a normal channel like any one do , it is really a school..thank you very much
I'm really glad that you're enjoying my lessons.
With these type of videos, you can understand more than at a classroom
Great! I'm glad this has been helpful.
right ! this kind of videos is quick, simple and to the point
Ma'am, I'm very glad of you because you start doing this channel since 10 years ago and until now. You will never give up doing this channel grow and give people knowledge. 😘
Thank you! I'm glad my lessons have been helpful to you.
Good morning I would like to improve my English language. Just To know if you can correct my mistake ..
The most professional explanation on CZcams, thank you for your effort!
Thanks a lot, Piotr! Your positive feedback on the quality of my work means a great deal to me. I'm encouraged to keep up the standard.
I am in love with your videos, very detailed, well content, and perfectly organized
Thank you very much, Linh! I'm glad you're enjoying my lessons.
My school sent this for online classes 😂😂😂😂
Excellent! I hope you watched all of it and took notes :-)
Anglo-Link i already know them actually Im a A+ student at english I know things before she explain them 😂😂I got 21/20 I know I made this possible because I added my own question and answered it 😂🤣
:-)
Same
Yea my school to who sent this for online classes
I have to give you thanks for your video, was very helpful, I couldn't understand my teacher.
You're very welcome, Lucy.
I love these classes and the way the presenter talks, amazing.
Thanks a lot! Happy online teaching!
I do love the way which Angle is teaching. I have learned a lot. Thanks
You're very 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?
Thank you for all these pretty videos. You're an amazing teacher :)
Thank you very much for your lovely comment, Miha!
Thank you very much for this explanation.
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.
I finally found something which could help me Thanku so much Anglo
But i have a doubt on 9th example Can I say "we saw many objects whose origins were unknown"
You're welcome. Yes, you can.
thank you very much, i have enjoyed and benefited very much from this lesson...greetings to you.

You're most welcome. I'm glad you've enjoyed this lesson.

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 so much for all your videos WHICH are all incredibly clear and efficient.
your teaching skill are spectacular .... good job ,you are the best teacher I have ever met before
Thank you very much for your lovely comment! I do appreciate it your support.
It is such a good lesson that I learned clearly. Greetings from Turkey.
Glad to hear that!
You're so very welcome.
Thought you might like to be reminded of that.
Blessings
you're amazing
I have a test tomorrow and I've learned here, and really helped me
+reut twito
I'm very glad to read this.
same! learning for english test too
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.
Thanks once again. Which is correct: The lesson was downloaded youtube, for/from/after which will be used to teach children English.
after which
@@AngloLinkEnglish Thanks a lot
One question :
Marya went to Rawandz (which/where) is a nice place
Which one is more correct?
which
Which
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.
Thank you!.
I enjoyed and benefit from your explaining .
You're most welcome, Yasmen!
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!
Really useful, I'd just like to know in question number 9, is it possible to put whose instead? So the sentence will be: we saw many objects whose the origins were unknown or maybe we saw many objects whose origins were unknown? Thank you so much, teacher.
Your second sentence is correct (without 'the').
the best teacher who teaches her all followers is very easy way they understand. Even i ever see before this type teacher in my life clearing all matters appearing in her mind like her.
Thank you! I appreciate your kind comment.
👌🏻Thank you It helped me on my homework 🌻I will subscribe 🤲🏻Thanks alot🌻
You're very welcome! I hope you enjoy my other lessons too.
Thanks 👍😌
My teacher sent this video for my online classroom !!!
You're truly amazing, you explain so well
Thank you very much!
Dear a teacher! thank you so much for your lesson. Could you please tell me "which" is a "book" in the first sentence?
You're very welcome.
Could you please type out the sentence here?
Yes, teacher. That sentence is: “the man who/that lent me the book was the author himself, which was totally amazing”.
Dear teacher, thank you so much for your lesson! I have some difficulties in these sentence below: "The man whose book i borrowed". "The book the title of which is Peace". "The library where we met". Why we can not drop these relative pronouns? Thanks a lot, teacher!
Hi Teacher , thank you for the lesson you taught Can you tell me the basis difference between which and that ?
You're welcome, Rahul.
I explain this in detail in the lesson. Briefly:
In defining clauses, they're the same. 'that' is more common: The book that (which) was entitled ... lay on the table.
In non-defining clauses, you can only use 'which': The book, which lay on the table, was entitled ....
Thank you Mam !
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.
Would you explain me "in which"coming sentence?
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
Thank you again! I am your virtual teacher! I hope you will benefit from my other lessons on YT as well.
This is a very impressive video. This is the kind of lesson I am looking for in CZcams. Very useful.
I'm glad this has been helpful.
Very nice madam and God bless you for very good teaching of English to us
It's my pleasure!
I learned a lot from you.
You are such a great teacher
Thank you for your time!
My great pleasure!
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?
My teacher sent this school work in the Google classroom 😁👍.and now i understand.😊👍
That's great!
This is the English channel which I prefer. Minoo is a very good teacher who used to live in Iran.
Thank you, Mark!
Ah my cover is blown!! How did you guess??
If I remember correctly, I saw that your photo had changed to this one in one of our threads :-)
Very understandable.good teaching.God bless you.
Thank you!
The explanation is epically SURREAL. Thank you very much.
My pleasure ... I think!

I share some tips in this video: czcams.com/video/gPFFrA9CvwE/video.html
I hope this will be helpful.
@@AngloLinkEnglish thank you very much.. ma'am...it will be very useful for me....again heartly thanks....
For people: who, that, whose, whom
Example -
"The man WHO lent me the book"
"The man WHOSE book I borrowed"
For objects: which, that, whose
Example -
"The book THAT I borrowed"
"The book WHOSE title is Nemo"
For places, times and reason: where, when, why, that
Example -
"The day WHEN we met"
"The library WHERE we met"
"The reason WHY I was at the library"
Excellent!!!!!
I have a presentation about this tomorrow..
Thank you...
My pleasure! I hope it went well.
It is the best video on relative pronouns.During making of this video you have used your excellent teaching experience.
Thanks.
Thank you, Muhammad! I'm glad this lesson has been helpful.
At 6:54 of the lesson there is a mistake. is not the indirect object of the verb and even is not any member of the clause, wich itself defines the word . The object of is
I love the lesson; well-structured / easy explanation I'll send it to my students right now🤗
Thank you, Maryam! I hope your students enjoy it.
You are the best teacher on the world I like your teach thanks
Thank you very much!
I can't speak English, but I study it. I didn't understand this lesson at all, but after this, I can understand, thank you.
شكرا جزيلا ☺️
You're very welcome.
Really you are the best teacher that I have ever seen :
Thanks a lot!
Thanks for your very informative videos indeed.Could you please wash out my confusion on when to use that and which?
You're welcome.
You may want to watch the lesson again and take some note for yourself to get a deeper understanding, but briefly:
'that': defining pronoun for both objects and people
'which': defining pronoun and non-defining pronoun for objects
Thank you mis It helped me a lot for my upcoming exams
You're most 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.
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.
you're the best teacher ever, thank u so much for help us
Thanks a lot! I'm glad my lessons are helping you.
It's amazing explanation that I have ever seen about this topic.
Thank you too much
You are most welcome!
thank you for the help .Tomorrow i have a grammar exam about this
You're welcome. Good luck with your test.
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 for turkish translate 🌸💞
Excellent information. It helps me too much in my English studies. Greetings!
I appreciate all the information you give us . thank you so much for helping us
You're very welcome.
this is great for school nones my elementary teacher sent this to us due cv19
Excellent! I hope you liked the lesson.
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.

I suggest you learn to speak Portuguese properly before try learn another language
you did good I understand every thing
Excellent!
hello, thank you for your lecture.
I have a question, for people we use who, that, whose and whom, we know what whom usually use in formal english but how about when we prefer who/that to whose and vice versa? or we can use whenever we feel like? thank you
You're welcome.
'whose' (possession), when used for people, cannot be replaced by anything else, or it will lose its sense.
Thank you 😇. This video helped me a lot 🙂
You're very welcome!

You're welcome!

Teacher, can we put prepositions before Whose?
Like this : Mr Ben, with whose son I live, knows a lot about cars?
Is this sentence correct, Ms?
Hope you will help me explain more about it. Thank you!
No, you should use 'whom': with whom.
@@AngloLinkEnglish But I use Whose as possessive: son of mr Bean, Ms?
Oh I see! It's because you've put 'with' in the wrong place: ...., whose son I live with, ...

MY ENGLISH TEACHER SENT IT TI ME IN ONLINE CLASSES😂🙂
Thank you 🌺
Now I understand 😄
likes this comment if she helped you understand 💗
Thank you, Cindy!
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!
Thanks for the useful video. But can I ask you a question? In these sentences: "The man who lent me the book is handsome" and "I read the book which is written by William Shakespeare", which sentence can be reduced the relative pronoun? If can or cannot, please tell me the reason. Thanks for your support!
The man WHO lent me ... cannot be reduced because 'the man' is the subject of the sentence.
I read the book written ... can be reduced because 'the book' is the object of the sentence.
@@AngloLinkEnglish Thank you. But I'm still confused. I have another sentence: "The man who works at Costco lives in Seattle". In that sentence, my teacher taught me that we can drop the relative pronoun "who" and change the verb "works" to the present participle "working". And that sentence becomes "The man working at Costco lives in Seattle. Is it right or wrong and what's the reason?
Yes, your teacher is right. When the noun is the subject, you can reduce the clause by using a participle verb instead (doing & done).
@@AngloLinkEnglish The relative pronouns of the mentioned sentences are subject of those sentences. Why can we reduce the relative pronoun in the sentence ""The man who works at Costco lives in Seattle", however, we can't reduce the same in the sentence "The man who lent me the book is handsome"?
You can't reduce it by dropping 'who', but you can reduce it by using the gerund, although personally, I prefer to reduce to gerund only when the tense is continuous:
The man (who was) lending me the book was handsome.
I prefer 'The man who lent me the book is handsome.' to 'The man lending me the book is handsome.', but the latter is correct too, just not as clear.
omg that's the best explanation that I've ever heard or paid attention to i don't even have to use my mind to understand what she says 👍
Thank you!
My teacher sent me for online Class
I am sorry, but the incorrect way of using who and whom is not about modern English and spoken English, it is rather simply about people who do not know which word goes where. What about whoever and whomever?
And I also think in informal English you can still say "The book I borrowed is on the table" No need to say "The book which I borrowed is on the table."
+My Way Out It's a little too confusing, for me at least. Therefore I've decided to only use whom after a preposition.
My Way Out hello it's just what she said : you can drop "which" because it is relative to an object (not a subject)
Jay Kapoor you do NOT put an adjective between the auxiliary verb “to” and the infinitive verb.
yes is right I spoke in spanish and I know that
I don’t understend very well becuse i’m don’t speak english
viva españitaaa ajajaja
This is the best website and the best teacher. 👩🏫 Thank u so much.🏅
Thank you! I'm glad you like my way of teaching.
Thanks very much 👍.
It's a very good lesson.
My pleasure!
I'm from Brazil and I'd like you to speak slowly and clearly. Thanks!
Gladston Almeida mais??? Kkkkkk vc que precisa se expor mais, ouvir mais áudios e vídeos em inglês até se habituar mais e conseguir entender melhor.. Falantes de inglês no dia a dia falam ainda mais rápido e confusamente
she is perfect and doesnt speak quickly. you can choose a slower speed on youtube if you need. but she doesn't have to be slower only because you want it
Gladston Almeida I think 💭 she's clear and perfect 👌🏻
KKKKKKKKKK se é o bichão mesmo
Why don't you play the video at a slower speed.
Summary :
extra information added that is not relevant to the sentence is a relative clause
Ex - Michael , who had homework , was sad ( who had homework is relative clause )
Information that is relevant in a sentence is a main clause
Ex - Michael , who had homework , was sad ( Michael was sad is the main clause )
Nice
Thank you!
Hi! I have a question. There's a part of the video where it's said that "what" and "how" are not relative pronouns because they cannot come after a noun. Then, right at the end, in the exercises, there's one like "I have no idea WHAT you're talking about.".
Now, I'm confused. Can you explain that to me, please?
Compare:
The idea which/that I mentioned | wasn't mine. >> 'which I mentioned' defines 'idea'.
I have no idea | what you're talking about. >> 'what' starts the next part; it doesn't define 'idea'.
@@AngloLinkEnglish Got it! Thank you!!
You're welcome!
I don't know why it is hard for me to understand you lessons. They make me dizzy. Instead with others teachers I understand so easily. You do great work. This is my fault if don't get along with your lessons. Peace✌️
That's perfectly fine, Kamil! We all learn differently. I'm glad there are other teachers whose teaching style matches your learning style. Thank you for giving my lessons a try anyway.
