I detta avsnitt kommer vi att fokusera på relevanta satser, eller relative clauses, i engelsk grammatik. Relativa satser är en viktig del av engelska eftersom de tillåter oss att ge mer information om något eller någon utan att behöva starta en ny mening. Denna typ av klausul är vanligtvis introducerad med relativa pronomen som ’who’, ’which’, ’that’ och andra. Genom att förstå och öva på relativa satser kan du göra dina meningar mer detaljerade och flytande.
För att hjälpa till med att bemästra användningen av relativa satser har vi sammanställt två övningar som innehåller exempel på hur de integritas i meningar. Varje övning består av femton meningar där du måste fylla i den korrekta relativa pronomen eller adverb. Använd ledtrådarna bredvid de tomma utrymmena för att bestämma vilken form av relativa klausuler som passar bäst i varje kontext. Lycka till!
