Future time clauses

Future Time Clauses (specially for Dario) 

•   In clauses with time words like when, after, until we often use the present tense forms to talk about the future:

I’ll come home when I finish work.

You must wait here until your father comes.

They are coming after they have had dinner.

•    in conditional clauses with if or unless we often use the present tense forms to talk about the future:

We won’t be able to go out if it is raining.

If Barcelona win tomorrow they will be champions.

I will come tomorrow unless I have to look after the children.

•   We do not normally use will in clauses with if or with time words:

I’ll come home when I will finish work.

We won’t be able to go out if it will rain. rains.

It will be nice to see Peter when he will get home gets home.

You must wait here until you father will come comes.

relative clauses

RELATIVE CLAUSES

Relative clauses add extra information to a sentence by defining a noun. They are usually divided into two types 

–defining relative clauses and non-defining relative clauses.



Defining relative clauses

Look at this sentence:

•   The woman who lives next door works in a bank.

‘who lives next door’ is a defining relative clause. It tells us which woman we are talking about.



Look at some more examples:

•   Look out! There’s the dog that bit my brother.

•   The film that we saw last week was awful.

•   This is the skirt I bought in the sales.

Can you identify the defining relative clauses? They tell us which dog, which film and which skirt we are talking about.

The relative pronoun is the object:

Next, let's talk about when the relative pronoun is the object of the clause. In this case we can drop the relative pronoun if we want to. Again, the clause can come after the subject or the object of the sentence. Here are some examples:

(Clause after the object)

• She loves the chocolate (which / that) I bought.
• We went to the village (which / that) Lucy recommended.
• John met a woman (who / that) I had been to school with.
• The police arrested a man (who / that) Jill worked with.

• The bike (which / that) I loved was stolen.
• The university (which / that) she likes is famous.
• The woman (who / that) my brother loves is from Mexico.
• The doctor (who / that) my grandmother liked lives in New York.
