ORACIONES DE RELATIVO

PRONOMBRE RELATIVOS
ORACIONES RELATIVAS ESPECIFICATIVAS (DEFINING CLAUSES)
ORACIONES RELATIVAS EXPLICATIVAS (NON-DEFINING CLAUSES)
Las oraciones de relativo cumplen la misma funcin que la de un adjetivo y es
la de complementar a un sustantivo o un pronombre de la oracin principal que
llamaremos antecedente. Dependiendo del antecedente utilizaremos uno u otro
pronombre relativo.
PRONOMBRES RELATIVOS
Who. Se utiliza con personas
Which. Se utiliza con objetos y animales
That. Se utiliza tanto para personas como para objetos y animales excepto en
las non-defining clauses
Where. Se utiliza para lugares; se puede sustituir por IN WHICH
When. Se utiliza para complementos de tiempo
Whose. Es el posesivo, se traduce por CUYO
Whom. En oraciones formales, tiene el mismo uso que WHO
ORACIONES RELATIVAS ESPECIFICATIVAS (DEFINING CLAUSES)
Las oraciones relativas especificativas tienen como funcin principal definir o
diferenciar al antecedente.
Ejemplos:
Mario is the boy who lives next door. Mario es el chico que vive en la puerta de
al lado.
This is the novel that/which you lent me. Esta es la novela que me prestaste.
Como podemos ver en estas oraciones el pronombre relativo se corresponde
segn el antecedente dado en cada oracin.
Para poder diferenciarlas de las oraciones explicativas vamos a destacar 2
aspectos principales:
. No hay comas que separen la oracin de relativo del resto como veremos en
las non-defining.
. El pronombre relativo puede omitirse siempre que no funcione como sujeto.

Ejemplos:
This is the woman who cleans my house. Esta es la mujer que limpia mi casa
En esta oracin no podra eliminarse el pronombre puesto que est actuando
como sujeto.
I have bought the tickets for the concert that/which you would like to go. He
comprado las entradas para el concierto al que queras ir.
En esta oracin si podramos eliminar el pronombre ya que la oracin
subordinada ya tiene un sujeto propio.
. El nico pronombre que no puede omitirse es WHOSE.
ORACIONES RELATIVAS EXPLICATIVAS (NON-DEFINING CLAUSES)
Las oraciones explicativas tienen como funcin principal dar informacin no
importante acerca del antecedente.
Ejemplo:
My mother, who lives in Holland, works as a clerk. Mi madre, que vive en
Holanda, trabaja como administrativa
Algunos aspectos que las diferencian de las oraciones especificativas:
. Los pronombres relativos nunca pueden omitirse
Ejemplo:
William Shakespeare, who was English, wrote many sonnets. William
Shakespeare, que era ingles, escribi muchos sonetos.
Como vemos, la oracin relativa carece de otro sujeto para que el pronombre
pueda ser omitido.
. WHO o WHICH nunca pueden ser sustituidos por THAT. El uso de este
pronombre no est permitido en estas oraciones.
