a) I have to say that my favourite place in the world is the village where I was born. I've travelled all
    over the world but it's still the place which I love the most. A song ... that's an easy one! It's Lady
    in Red y Chris de Burgh, for two reasons. Firstly, it was the colour of the dress which I was
   wearing the night I met my husband. Secondly, it was the song which the Dj played as we danced.
   The number which I've chosen is the number nine. My grandmother, who used to live with us when
   I was a child, always asked me to get her a lottery ticket with this number. I think that's why I like it
   so much. For a photo, I've chosen a black and white photo of my parents which I've had for about
   20 years. Every time I look at it, I can see two happy people in their early twenties whose lives
   were about to change forever. Why? Well because my mum was pregnant with me in the photo!.
   My English teacher at school was the woman who inspired me to love languages. So, I've chosen
   her to be my favourite person. Animal? No question about it! The animals which I like most are
   dogs.The shop where I could spend all day would be one selling perfumes and cosmetics. Finally,
   an object which is very special to me is my engagement ring, because it used to belong to my
   husband's grandmother. It's beautiful.

Hello, do you remember that we would like to get a pet? Today I had read a notice about it. It was an adoption site for dogs. Well, in my opinion, I think that we should adopt one because that poor dogs need a comfortable house and it will be happier than to live in the street. These dogs have had bad experiences and we could give it a house and love so the dog will be very happy. I just know that these dogs are not beautiful sometimes, but I think that the most important to us is that the dog can be intelligent and affectionate. Also, I don't want to spend money on a breed dog, as you have known the breed dogs are very expensive and an adopted dog is fully free. What's your opinion about it?

b) In my opinion, I think that a personalised diet is better and more efficient than to do exercise.
    I think that to do dieting is essential!. Near of our work, there is a good health shop with a
    dietician. Although I think if it's a rainy day we won't do that day it!. Although the cost
    personalised diet is more expensive than the Tai Chi on the
    beach as one costs €50 and the other costs €30, In my opinion, the diet is better than to do Tai Chi

* ORACIONES RELATIVAS. Fotocopia 10/5/18
¿Para qué nos va a servir conocer el uso de las clausulas relativas? Un uso básico consiste en juntar dos oraciones para formar una sola sin modificar el significado general. La idea es juntar dos oraciones en una sola haciendo uso del pronombre relativo adecuado.


Pronombres Relativos
PronombreTraducciónSe usa el pronombre para . . .
that, who, whom*que, quien, a quienuna persona
whosecuyoun posesivo
that, whichque, cualuna cosa
wheredondeun lugar
whencuandoun tiempo
whyporqueuna razón
*Who es un pronombre sujeto y "whom" es un pronombre objeto.


- Definiendo las oraciones relativas: gente, personas
 a) Sujeto: Who or that. 
           Who es generalmente usado para PERSONAS
           That se utiliza generalmente después de all, everyone, everybody, no one nobody and those
     Ej: The man who robbed you has been arrested /The girls who serve in the shop are owner's sisters
           Everyone that knew him liked him / Nobody that watched the match will ever forget it

b) Objeto de un verbo: WHO, WHO, THAT
    La forma del objeto es WHOM, pero es muy formal.
    Generalmente usamos WHO ó THAT y es mas usual omitir el pronombre objeto.
    Ej: The man whom I saw told me to come back today or the man I saw me to come back today

c) Con una preposición: WHOM ó THAT
   En un inglés formal la preposición es colocada antes del pronombre raltivo,
   la  cual debe ser entonces utilizada con la forma WHOEM
    Ej: The man to whom I spoke
   Hablando de una manera informal es más normal colocar la preposición al final de la oración.
   A menudo whom es remplazado por that, pero es más común omitir el relativo 
   Ej: The man who/ whom I spoke to --- The man that I spoke to --- The man I spoke to

d) Possessive
   La única forma posible es WHOSE
   Ej: People whose rents have been raised can appeal/ the film is about a spy whose wife betrays him
   - Respuestas cortas: 
   Para hacer respuestas cortas usamos el verbo:
   + TO BE (am, is, are, was, were) para el Present simple, Past simple, Presente Continous, 
                                                                     Past Continuous and Going to questions
   + HAVE (have, has, had) para el Present Perfect y Interrogativas en Past Perfect
   + WILL para hacer preguntas en Future Simple

- Definiendo las oraciones relativas: cosas
a) Sujeto: WHICH ó THAT. Siendo which más formal
    Ej: This is the picture which caused such a sensation/
          the stairs that lead to the cellar are rather slippery

b) Objeto de un verbo: WHICH ó THAT ó ninguno
    Ej: The car which/ that I hired broke down --- The car I hired broke down
    Which casi nunca es usado después de all, everything, little, much, none, no y en las formas compuestas de no ó después de superlativos. En su lugar  usamos THAT ó omitimos el relativo.
   Ej: All the apples that fall are eaten by the pigs/ This is the best hotel (that) I know

c) Objeto de una preposición: La constucción formal es PREPOSICION+ WHICH, pero lo más normal es colocar la preposición al final de frase, usando which ó that o ninguno
   Ej: The ladder on which I was standing began to slip/
      The ladder which/ that I was standing on began to slip/ The ladder I was standing on began to slip

d) Posesivo: WHOSE + una oración, siendo mas común WITH + una frase
    Ej: A house whose walls were made of glass / a house with glass walls

e) Adverbios relativos:
    + WHEN puede reemplazar a IN/ON WHICH (se utiliza en oraciones de tiempo)
        Ej: the year when (= in which) he was born/ the day when (= in which) they arrived
    + WHERE puede reemplazar a IN/AT WHICH (se utiliza en oración de lugar)
        Ej: the hotel where (=in/at which) they were staying
    + WHY puede reemplazar a FOR WHICH
        Ej: the reason why he refused is...
 - Cuando WHEN, WHERE y WHY son usados de esta forma son ADVERBIOS RELATIVOS

* ORACIONES RELATIVAS NO DEFINIDAS
Las "non-defining relative clauses" están compuestas por un pronombre relativo, un verbo y otros elementos opcionales, como el sujeto o el objeto del verbo. Siempre se emplean comas o paréntesis para delimitar las oraciones de relativo no especificativas y separarlas del resto de la oración principal.

PRONOMBRES RELATIVOS
Los siguientes pronombres relativos se utilizan en las proposiciones relativas explicativas. Estos pronombres relativos aparecen al principio de la oración de relativo y hacen referencia a un nombre que los precede en la oración principal.
PersonaCosaLugar
Sujetowhowhich
Objetowho/whomwhichwhere
Posesiónwhose
DIFERENCIAS RESPECTO A LAS ORACIONES DE RELATIVO ESPECIFICATIVAS
En las proposiciones relativas especificativas, los pronombres "who", "whom" y "which" suelen sustituirse por "that" en el inglés hablado. Sin embargo, en las subordinadas relativas no especificativas, no es posible reemplazar otros pronombres con "that". Tampoco puede omitirse el pronombre relativo en las "non-defining relative clauses" como hacemos en las oraciones de relativo especificativas. El pronombre es necesario, incluso cuando funciona como objeto del verbo de la proposición relativa explicativa. Finalmente, las oraciones de relativo no especificativas siempre se separan del resto de la oración principal mediante comas, mientras que las oraciones de relativo especificativas no están delimitadas por signos de puntuación.
- Non-Defining Relative Clauses: People
a) Sujeto: WHO, ningún otro pronombre es posible, siempre entre comas.
    Ej: My neighbour, who is very pessimistic, says there will be no apples this year
          Peter, who had been driving all day, suggested stopping at the next town

b) Objeto: El pronombre no puede ser omitido. WHOM es la forma correcta , 
                  WHO es usado en la coversación
    Ej: Peter, whom everyone suspected, turned out to be innocent

c) Objeto de una preposición: WHOM. el pronombre no puede ser omitido.
                                                    la preposición normalmente va antes de whom
   Ej: Mr Jone, for whom I was working, was very generous about overtime payments.
   Es posible mover la preposición al final de la oración y 
                                                                                   entonces utilizariamos who en lugar de whom
   Ej: Mr Jones, who I was working for, was very generous about overtime payments
 Si la oración contiene una expresión de tiempo o lugar, permanecerá al final
   Ej: Peter, with whom I played tennis on Sundays, was fitter than me
         Peter, who/whom I played tennis with on Sundays, was fitter than me

d) Posesivo: WHOSE
   Ej: Ann, whose children are at school all day, is trying to get a job
         This is George, whose class you will be taking

- Non-defining relative clauses: cosas
a) Sujeto: WHICH . That no se usa en estas expresiones
    Ej: That block, which cost $5 million to build, has been empty for years
           The 8.15 train, which is usually very punctual, was late today

b) Objeto: WHICH. That nunca puede usarse y WHICH nunca puede ser omitido
    Ej: She gave me this jumper, which she had knitted herself
          These books, which you can get at any bookshop, will give you all the information you need

c) Objeto de una preposición: La preposición se coloca antes de WHICH ó al final de la oración
    Ej: His house, for which he paid $1000, is now worth $ 5000
          His house, which he paid $1000 for, is now worth $5000

d) Posesivo: WHOSE ó WHICH. 
    Whose es generalmente usado para animales y cosas. 
    OF WHICH es posible usarlo para referirnos a cosas, pero no es muy común excepto cuando hablamos ingles de una manera muy formal.
    Ej: His house, whose windows are all broken, was a depressing sight
          The car, whose handbrake wasn't very reliable, began to slide backwards
