Como Crear Relative Clauses

Para crear RELATIVE CLAUSES se utilizan.

Relative Pronoun

Voy a visitar al hombre que vive al lado de mi casa.
which
subject or object pronoun ( se usa para animales y cosas)

¿ Ves el gato que está sobre el sofa?
which
Se utiliza para referirse a una oración completa
He couldn’t talk clearly which surprised me.
Él casi no pudo hablar claramente, eso me sorprende
Subject Pronoun or Object Pronoun
No se los puede distinguir por su forma: who, which, that pero pueden usarse como Subject Pronoun o Object Pronoun.
Se hacen las siguientes distinciones:
Si el pronombre relativo es seguido por un verbo, el pronombre relativo es un subject pronoun: Siempre se utilizarán estos pronombres delante de un verbo :
The cat which is over the sofa.
Si el pronombre relativo no es seguido por un verbo sino por otro nombre o pronombre, el pronombre relativo es un object pronoun, Los object pronouns pueden quitarse cuando utilizamos defining relative clauses, entonces se llama a esas cláusulas Contact Clauses
The cake which Kate laid on the table
O
The cake Kate laid on the table
La torta que Kate puso sobre la mesa

Relative Adverbs 

Pueden utilizarse en lugar de un relative pronoun más una preposición. Esto hace que la oración se más fácil de comprender:
This is the school in which I teach English.
→ This is the school where I teach English.

Non-Defining Relative Clauses 

Non-defining relative clauses ( también llamadas non-identifying relative clauses o non-restrictive relative clauses) dan información adicional sobre algo pero no lo defienen. Las Non-defining relative clauses se ponen entre comas.
The teacher is in a room with only one pupil. Do you know the pupil, who is talking to him?
El maestro está en una habitación con un solo alumno. Conoces el alumno que está hablando con él?
Nota; En las non-defining relative clauses, who/which no pueden ser reemplazados con that.
Los Object pronouns deben ser usados en  non-defining relative clauses.
Jane, who/whom you met yesterday, is very nice girl.
Janes, la chica que encontraste ayer, es muy simpática

Stative and Dynamic Verbs Introduction Verbs in English can be classified into two categories:  stative  verbs and  dynamic  verbs. Dynamic verbs (sometimes referred to as "action verbs") usually describe actions we can take, or things that happen; stative verbs usually refer to a state or condition which is not changing or likely to change. The difference is important, because stative verbs cannot normally be used in the continuous (BE + ING) forms. This will explain the differences between the two types of verb, and give lots of examples of each kind. Dynamic verbs ejercicios en linea There are many types of dynamic verbs, but most of them describe activities or events which can begin and finish. Here are some examples: Dynamic Verb Type Examples play activity She plays tennis every Friday. She's playing tennis right now. melt process The snow melts every spring.

Double Comparatives and Superlatives Double Comparatives and Superlatives There are times in writing when a comparison is necessary. A description gives the reader specific details in order to provide them with an image. Making a comparison is another way of providing the reader with imagery within a descriptive narrative. The usage of both comparison and description helps in to keep the reader engaged with the text. Comparative sentences contain adjectives and adverbs that tend to end in  –er, ‑est  or have the words “more” and “most”. As a refresher, adjectives describe a noun or pronouns; while adverbs describe a verb, adjective or other adverb. In the comparative degree, modifiers usually take “-er” or “more” to show comparison. In contrast, adjectives and adverbs in the superlative degree are similar to the comparative degree, but use the -est ending and the word “most” instead. In addition, the article “the” must be placed before the adjective or adverb in the sentence
