2. to understand attributive clauses better and use them correctly, students should be able to identify which word is the antecedent and know what it functions as in an attributive clause, so they can use a proper relative pronoun to introduce an attributive clause. here are more examples:
the girl who/that is standing next to our teacher is her daughter.
the girl (whom/who/that) our teacher is talking with is her daughter.
the girl whose mother is from britain can speak english very well.
i can’t find the book which/that is borrowed from the library.
i can’t find the book (which/that) you lent to me.
have you read the book whose author/the author of which is a high school student?
i used to study in a classroom whose windows/the windows of which were all broken.
sometimes the antecedent can be a pronoun, such as someone/sb., anyone/anybody, everyone/everybody, no one/nobody, sth, anything, everything, nothing, all, those, etc.
