RELATIVE CLAUSES

Ana cümlede yer belirten bir ifade her zaman “relative clause” cümlesinde olayın geçtiği yeri belirtmeyebilir.
Bazen bu tür yer belirten sözcükler sadece bir nesne ya da özne durumundadır. Bu durumda “where” kullanılamaz;
“which” ya da “that” kullanılarak “relative clause” ana cümleye bağlanmalıdır.
I would like to see the Great Wall of China. It is a magnificent architectural wonder. (It: subject)

I would like to see the Great Wall of China, which is a magnificent architectural wonder.
(Özne durumunda olduğu için “relative pronoun” cümleden atılamaz.)

The Statue of Liberty is a structure. I admired it most when I visited New York last summer.

The Statue of Liberty is a structure which / that / Ø I admired most when I visited New York last summer.
(Nesne durumunda olduğu için “relative pronoun” cümleden atılabilir.)

The new office building will be constructed in the area. The old warehouse was located there.

The new office building will be constructed in the area where the old warehouse was located.
(Sıfat cümleciğinde “the area”, “nerede” sorusunun cevabı olduğu için “where” ifadesi kullanılabilir.)

relative clause” yapılarında tercih edilir.

Ana cümledeki “reason” ya da “explanation” kelimesinden sonra sıfat cümlesi bir neden ifade eden cümle
olarak geliyorsa, “why”, “that” ya da “for which” kullanılarak bu iki cümle birbirine bağlanabilir. Ya da bunlardan

hiçbiri kullanılmadan “relative clause” direkt olarak da getirilebilir.
