Relative clauses — whose, whom and where

Whose

Мы употребляем whose в уточняющих частях предложения вместо his/her/their:

We saw some people

Their

Car had broken down

We saw some people

Whose

Car had broken down.

Чаще всего мы употребляем whose, когда говорим о людях:

— A widow is a woman whose husband is dead.

— What’s the name of the girl whose car you borrowed?

— The other day I met someone whose brother I went to school with.

Употребление whom вместо who возможно, когда оно выступает дополнением к глаголу в уточняющей части предложения :

— The man whom I wanted to see was away on

holiday.

Вы также можете употреблять whom с предлогами :

— The girl with whom he fell in love left him after a few weeks.

Однако мы редко употребляем whom. В разговорном английском who и that более предпочтительны. :

— The man I wanted to see…

— The girl he fell in love with…

Where

Когда уточняющая часть предложения говорит о местонахождении, вы можете употребить where:

The hotel — we stayed

There

— wasn’t very clean

— The hotel

Where

We stayed wasn’t very clean.

— I recently went back to the town where I was born. I was born in’)

— I would like to live in a country where there is plenty of sunshine.

Мы употребляем that, когда говорим the day/the year/the time :

— Do you still remember the day we first met?

— The last time I saw her, she looked very well.

— I haven’t seen them since the year they got married.

Вы можете сказать the reason why something happens или the reason that something happens.

Вы также можете опустить why и that в этих предложениях:

— The reason I’m phoning you is to invite you to a party.
