One way to do this is to use a relative clause.¿ \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMy explanations are based on several literatures. I used the Grammar books by Sinclair, Quirk and Swan. The examples I used I also took from school grammar books and textbooks. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWe distinguish three types of relative clauses: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e¿ (adnominal) relative clauses\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e¿ nominal relative clauses and \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e¿ sentential relative clauses\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eYou get further information especially on adnominal relative clauses and some additional points on nominal relative clauses. But adnominal relative clauses are the central type of relative clauses.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMoreover we distinguish two kinds of adnominal relative clauses:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e¿ defining relative clauses\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e¿ non-defining relative clauses.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRelative clauses are introduced mostly by relative pronouns. They can function as subjects or objects of verbs in the relative clause and they join sentences together.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"aw-variant-hidden-subtitle-div\" id=\"aw-variant-subtitle-9783638836142\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Libri","offers":[{"title":"Softcover - 9783638836142","offer_id":39427362979933,"sku":"9783638836142","price":17.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0940\/0622\/files\/c2bddfcd-98be-4a6a-ae53-08bd1b2d918b.jpg?v=1780549095","url":"https:\/\/shop.autorenwelt.de\/en\/products\/relative-clauses-with-relative-pronouns-von-heidrun-dietrich","provider":"Autorenwelt Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
