LESSON 20 – Passive 1

When we use the passive, who or what causes the action is often unknown or unimportant OR we want to emphasis the object as opposed to the subject:

LESSON 23 – Relative clauses

A clause is a part of a sentence. A relative clause, like an adjective, gives us more information about a noun. We usewho in a relative clause when we are talking about people. When we are talking about things, we use that or which.

We use whose mostly for people: A few days ago I met someone whose brother I went to school with.
