Rappel du cours de la semaine dernière.
Elles fournissent des informations intéressantés, supplémentaires, mais en aucun cas indispensables à la compréhension de la phrase.
Exemple: Mrs. Jackson, who is very intelligent, lives on the corner.
"Mrs Johnson lives on the corner" est une information intéressante. Grâce à la relative, on apprend une autre information intéressante (mais pas indispensable).
NB: La relative est encadrée par des virgules!
| > Les relatives définissantes |
- Leurs informations sont essentielles à la compréhension
de la phrase.
- Si vous les enlevez, la phrase a un sens différent ou plus de sens
du tout.
Exemple:
The woman who lives in apartment No. 34 has been arrested.
Quelle femme? La femme qui habite dans l'appartement 34, pas une autre.
Une relative définissante définit clairement de qui/de quoi on est en train de parler.
NB: IL NE FAUT PAS UTILISER DE VIRGULES!
