+Talita Dias Hi, thanks for your comment. I'm glad it helped. My next video will be available on Monday 19th March and it explains the other type of relative clause (with commas).
Hello. Thanks for your comment. I am happy that you like my lessons. Here is the full list: www.youtube.com/@CrownAcademyEnglish/videos Best wishes, Andrew
Hello, Andrew! Could you help me, please, to understand the meaning of complex sentence which has relative clause. The sentence is "While he regularly gave his housekeeper stocks in his company, which ended up being worth millions of dollars, some of his animators made only $12 a week". The relative clouse is "which ended up being worth millions of dollars. Does it belong to "his company" which is followed by the clouse at once or it belongs to " stocks" which is a main objeсt of the sentense (He(subject)+gave(action)+stocks(object)) Thaks a lot.
I wouldn't say "whom" is reserved only for very formal situations -it's more commonly used than "who" in sentences like "the customer for whom I provided the reference" (i.e. after preposition)
Mr. Andrew, you made me understand everything about relative pronouns. you are a very good and skillful tutor. I would you to be sending me more and more videos in English. Thank you very much, Sir.
Hello ANDREW, yesterday I watched your lesson about non defining relative clause and today i watched this lesson actually i can't get clearly the different between defining relative clause as identify a noun, and non defining relative clause as give more information about noun, and all of lessons are clear for me. i hope you reply me and thanks for BEST TEACHER.
Hi The big difference: Non-defining relative clauses give us OPTIONAL extra information about something. They act almost like brackets ( ). If we remove the non-defining clause from the sentence, the sentence still makes sense: Situation: I have a computer. (only one) Example: My computer, which I bought last year, is broken. The main meaning and sentence is simply: "My computer is broken." That is the message I want to express. "which I bought last year" is just secondary information. It is optional. If we delete it, the sentence still makes sense and the meaning does not change. The clause is NOT to identify the computer (I only have one!) but is there to simply give more optional information. Defining relative clauses are not optional. If we delete them, the sentence changes. The sentence doesn't really make sense. We use them to clearly define who or what we are talking about. They transform an ambiguous statement into a clear statement. Situation: Imagine I have 10 computers. I bought 9 of them last year. I bought 1 of them yesterday. Example: Andrew: "The computer *that I bought yesterday* is broken." "that I bought yesterday" isn't there to give you a more information about the computer. It is there to tell you which of my 10 computers is broken. If we delete the clause: "The computer is broken." -> You have no idea which computer is broken. I haven't identified it. I haven't defined it. The difference is subtle but important. Best wishes Andrew
Oh thank you very much ANDREW really I get the difference between non defining relative clause and defining relative. You are my best teacher. and I have one else question : WHERE is for place, is it relative pronoun for defining relative clause and non defining relative clause ? For example: the city where I born is far from the office. ( defining relative clause). Atlas, where it is in Morocco, is beautiful place to visit.( non defining relative clause). Other question: we can use WHERE as subject and object pronoun ?
I've made the mistakes in previously as you mention in this lesson, and now I understanding that there is no comma in sentence ----- " the lady who is standing by the front door is our teacher". It's necessary to learn that. Thanks!
Excellent, I am glad that you like my lessons. Thanks for the comment. Here is the list of all my videos: www.youtube.com/@CrownAcademyEnglish/videos Best wishes, Andrew

hi andrew, i'm so glad to learn and know of English, really i'm thankful and that's my example; in the academy awards, whose oscar for best actor was won by Leonado di Caprio, is it good?
+sebastian alegria Hi Sebastian. Yes, the relative clause is correct. But the beginning doesn't really form a full sentence. Here is a small correction: "Yesterday, I watched the academy awards, whose oscar for best actor was won by Leonado di Caprio." Best wishes Andrew
Everything is truly clear. You are the best. I look forward to seeing the "non-defining relative clauses. When , Sir ? Please. I pay my respect to you. A
Hello Andrew, Your lessons,whom I learn,are very interesting.I hope that you also continue to make listening lesson with story because your English accent and mostly your pronunciation help me to better understand English language.Many Thanks for your help.See you soon!
Recognizing a clause with questions they answer has become a difficult thing for me to understand. 1. Now let's take a Noun clause used as subject of the verb for example. "Whoever leaves last should turn off the lights. Now if we separate the independent clause we get "should turn of lights" Now I can't understand that how to think of this independent clause so that a question with "what" comes in mind. (They say that in order to be a Noun Clause, a question with the word "what" has to arise from independent clause) Only question comes in my mind is "Who should turn off the lights" and in that case it should be an adjective clause. Your thoughts ???
It's really good, helpful and detailed explanation about relative pronouns. I would recommend this video to my acquitences.Thanks for uploading good video like this. :)
I'd be great if you explain plainly how to understand subject and object in relative clauses. I found better explanation in another movie. In generally i enjoy your videos. Big thanks
Are these correct: Andrew is the teacher whom I learn from. Crown Academy of English lessons' are (that or which) lessons I have learned from. That school which I have studied at.
+nas nas Andrew is the teacher whom I learn from. -> Yes, this is grammatically correct. But you are mixing formal with informal styles. "whom" is very formal but putting the preposition at the end is quite informal. It would be better to write: 1)Andrew is the teacher from whom I learn. (formal) or 2) Andrew is the teacher who I learn from. (informal) or 3) Andrew is the teacher that I learn from. (informal) Crown Academy of English lessons' are (that or which) lessons I have learned from. -> This is too complicated and not really why we use defining relative clauses. We would simply say "I learned from Crown Academy of English's lessons. That school which I have studied at. -> Yes almost but it isn't a complete sentence. With a complete sentence, we could say: The school which I have studied at is in London. Best wishes Andrew
