Today, we&#8217;re on a quest to demystify relative clauses. These clever clauses give us extra information about nouns, making our sentences richer and more detailed. Let&#8217;s embark on this linguistic journey together:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">The book <strong>that<\/strong> she&#8217;s reading is really interesting.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">The girl, <strong>who<\/strong> lives next door, is my best friend.<\/span><\/li>\n<li>&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">In these examples, &#8220;that&#8221; and &#8220;who&#8221; introduce the relative clauses, providing essential information about the nouns &#8220;book&#8221; and &#8220;girl.&#8221; So, next time you&#8217;re adding extra details to your sentences, remember to call upon the power of relative clauses!<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"template":"","categories":[21],"class_list":["post-12684","fl_news","type-fl_news","status-publish","hentry","category-21"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.wesleyan.ac.jp\/cgu-info\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/fl_news\/12684","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.wesleyan.ac.jp\/cgu-info\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/fl_news"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.wesleyan.ac.jp\/cgu-info\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/fl_news"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.wesleyan.ac.jp\/cgu-info\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=12684"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.wesleyan.ac.jp\/cgu-info\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=12684"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
