En esta unidad vamos a aprender sobre los relative clauses y los relative pronouns, para ello se debe primero entender que es un relative clause. Relative clause es una oracin subordinada que describe o identifica a un nombre. Relative pronoun es una palabra que sirve para unir dos oraciones (una de estas oraciones es un relative clause), con el fin de convertir estas dos oraciones en una sola, para que haya fluidez y un mejor nivel de ingls.
Ejemplo:
"This is a house. It was built by my uncle (---> esta segunda oracin es la que convertiremos la "relative clause"). Esta es una casa. Fue construida por mi to. A continuacin, decido unir estas dos oraciones, la primera que es: "This is a house" y la segunda que es: "It was built by my uncle".
Cmo lo hago?
Muy fcil, utilizando un "relative pronoun", que pueden ser estos: Ojo! hay que saber escoger el "relative pronoun" correcto. -"who" (quien, quienes, el cual, la cual) Slo se puede utilizar para identificar o describir personas, nunca cosas. - whom (a quien, a quienes, quien, quienes...) Es ms formal que "who" y slo se utiliza para identificar o describir personas; nunca para cosas. - "that" (que, el cual, la cual, los cuales) para identificar, o describir, a personas o cosas.
9
"which" (que) para identificar, o describir cosas. Consejo: Al hablar, si te confundes al utilizar "who", es mejor optar por "that", ya que sirve para referirse a personas y cosas. Entonces quedara as:
This is the house that was built by my uncle." Esta es la casa que fue construida por mi to. La segunda oracin (la que empieza despus de "that"---> (relative pronoun) es ahora la "relative clause".

Una tag question es lo que se aade al final de una frase. Una tag question a raz de una declaracin afirmativa en general tiene la forma de una pregunta negativa, con el significado: No es eso cierto? No es verdad? En algunos idiomas, tales etiqueta preguntas son invariables. Sin embargo, en ingls, tag question varan, en funcin de los verbos. Las tag question pueden ser positivas y negativas, si la oracin principal es positiva, la tag question ser negativa y si la oracin principal negativa, la tag question ser positiva.
EXAMPLE / EJEMPLO:
Como se menciona en la primera parte, las tag questions varian en funcin de los verbos es decir: si tengo el verbo to be, pueden ver que el verbo to be se usa en la tag question .
17
EXAMPLE / EJEMPLO:
The students work hard, do they? My teacher doesn t speak French, does she?
Obviamente en el presente simple con verbos de accin necesitamos un auxiliar acorde con el sujeto: do o does, por esta razn utilizo el auxiliar. Ahora bien es importante recalcar que una tag question debe llevar siempre pronombres personales es decir the students yo remplac con they; my teacher remplac con she.
EXAMPLE / EJEMPLO:
My friends went home early, didn t they? My father didn t travel to Manta, did he?
De igual manera como ya sabemos para hacer oraciones negativas o preguntas en pasado, necesitamos un auxiliar en pasado es decir: did, como pueden ver, si tengo oracin positiva mi tag question es negativa y si tengo oracin negativa mi tag question es positiva.
18
Qu pasara si tengo una oracin con verbos modales: can, could, should, etc?
EXAMPLE / EJEMPLO:
My daughter can speak Japanese, can t she? People shouldn t smoke, should they?
As mismo en funcin del verbo uso la tag question, si tengo can uso can, si tengo should, uso should, si tengo would, uso would y as todos los verbos modales.
