, Relative clauses
1. Defining relative clauses -> makes it clear wich person or thing we are talking about
Use who/that to refer to people
- The person who/that gave me my first job was a genius. (identifies a specific person)
Use which/that to refer to things
- The pyramids which/that were built until the Third Dynasty were made of mud and brick, not
Stone. (identifies particular pyramids)
Use whose to refer back to people or things
- It was a meeting whose purpose i failed to understand.
2. Non-defining relative clauses -> has extra, non-essential information. It is separated from the main
clause by commas
Use who/which/whose but not that
- Hanna, who is our receptionist, will show you around the building.
- The Rosetta stone, which was found in 1799, enabled Champollion to decipher the hieroglyphs.
- Leonardo Da Vinci, whose painting of the Mona Lisa is world-famous, was a great Italian artist and
sculptor.
*You can use which to refer back to a whole clause
- I’m afraid we’ve missed our train, which means we’ll be late.
Modal verbs
1. To say what you suppose to be true about the past or the present -> use may, might, could, should
and must.
When something is possible (mogelijk) = may/might/could be
When something is reasonably certain (zo goed als zeker) = should be
When something is pretty sure (vrij zeker) = must be
When something is impossible (onmogelijk) = can’t be
2. To refer to the past -> use verb + have + past
- She may/might/could have gone out. = it’s possible (mogelijk)
- She must have gone out. = it’s pretty sure (vrij zeker)
- She can’t have gone out. = it’s impossible (onmogelijk)
*should + have + past can’t be used to speculate about the past, it expresses criticism.
- She should have gone out. = it was wrong for her to stay inside (kritiek)
3. To speculate about the outcome of past situation
- If I had anticipated the market trend a year ago, I could/would/might have made a fortune.
