PHẦN I. LÝ THUYẾT
A. RELATIVE CLAUSES - Mệnh đề quan hệ là mệnh đề phụ được nối với mệnh đề chình bởi các đại từ quan hệ (who, whom,
whose, which, that) hay các trạng từ quan hệ như (where, when, why). Mệnh đề quan hệ đứng ngay đằng
sau danh từ. Chức năng của nó giống như một tình từ do vậy nó còn được gọi là mệnh đề tình ngữ.

 Eg: The man who lives next door is very friendly

Danh từ đứng trước

(Antecedent)

Chủ ngữ

(Subject)

Tân ngữ

(Object)

Sở hữu cách
(Possesive Case)

Người (person)

Who/That

Whom/That

Whose

Vật (Thing)

Which/That

Which/That

Of Which/Who

 

I. Đại từ quan hệ (Relative pronouns)

 1. WHO: thay thế cho người, làm chủ ngữ/ tân ngữ trong MĐQH.

 Ex: - I need to meet the boy. The boy is my friend‘s son.
=>I need to meet the boy who is my friend‘s son.
The girl is John‘s sister. You saw her at the concert.
=> The girl who you saw at the concert is …

2. WHOM: thay thế cho người, làm tân ngữ trong MĐQH.

Ex:- I know the girl. I spoke to this girl.
=>I know the girl whom I spoke to.

3. WHICH: - thay thế đồ vật, làm chủ ngữ /tân ngữ trong MĐQH.

Ex: - She works for a company. It makes cars
=>She works for a company which makes cars.
The accident wasn‘t very serious. Daniel saw it.
=> The accident which Daniel saw ……
* Thay thế cho cả mệnh đề đứng trước nó – a connector

Ex: He passed his exam. This pleased his parents.

He passed his exam, which pleased his parents. (dùng dấu phẩy trước đại từ quan hệ)

4. THAT: thay thế cho WHO/ WHOM/ WHICH trong MĐQH hạn định (Mđ không có dấu phẩy)

 Ex: - I need to meet the boy that/ who is my friend‘s son.

- I know the girl that/ who/ whom I spoke to.

- She works for a company that/ which makes cars.
*Notes:
+ Những trường hợp thường dùng THAT:

- Sau đại từ bất định: something, anyone, nobody, …hoặc sau “ all, much, none, little... ” được dùng như
đại từ.
Ex: I‘ll tell you something that is very interesting.
    All that is mine is yours. / These walls are all that are remains of the city.

 - Sau các tình từ so sánh hơn nhất, các từ chỉ thứ tự: only, first, last, second, next…

Ex: - This is the most beautiful dress that I‘ve ever had.

- You are the only person that can help us.

 - Trong cấu trúc: It + be + … + th t … (chính là …)
It is/was not until + time/clause + that……(mãi tới khi… . thì…)

Ex: It is my friend that wrote this sentence.

It was not until 1990 that she became a member of the team.
+ Những trường hợp không dùng THAT:

 - Trong mệnh đề tình từ không hạn định.

 Ex: Mr Brown, that we studied English with, is a very nice teacher. (sai)

- Sau giới từ.

Ex: The house in that I was born is for sale. (sai)
+ Bắt buộc dùng THAT:
- Sau cụm từ vừa chỉ người và vật, bắt buộc dùng “that”:

Ex: He told me the places and people that he had seen in London.

We can see the farmers and their cattle that are going to the field.

- Trong cấu trúc: It be ………. th t ………… . (có thể dùng WHO khi chủ ngữ Hoặc tân ngữ đứng giữa
It be N / O th t …. “chỉ người
5. WHOSE (OF WHICH): thay thế cho các danh từ có tình từ sở hữu đi kèm (his-, her-, its-, their-).

 Ex: - John found the cat. Its leg was broken.
=>John found a cat whose leg/(the leg of which) was broken. (Of which is informal)

- This is the student. I borrowed his book.
=>This is the student whose book I borrowed.
*Các từ chỉ số lượng như (quantifiers): All of, None of, each of, most of, many of, neither of, them jority of …=> có thể dùng với WHICH / WHOM/ WHOSE trong mệnh đề quan hệ không xác định:

Ex: - Daisy has three brothers. All of them are teachers.
=>Daisy has three brothers, all of whom are teachers.

- He asked me a lot of questions. I couldn‘t answer most of them.
=>He asked me a lot of questions, most of which I couldn‘t answer

She has a teddy- bear. Both of its eyes are brown. => She has a teddy-bear, both of whose eyes are brown.
*Lưu ý về mệnh đề qu n hệ:
1. Giới từ có thể đứng trước Whom which. - in formal written style: prep + which/ whom

Eg:The man about whom you are talking is my brother.

 - in informal style: giới từ thường đứng sau động từ:

The man whom you are talking about is my brother.
Chú ý: Khi ĐTQH làm tân ngữ trong mệnh đề quan hệ xác định và giới từ đứng sau động từ trong mệnh
đề thí ta có thể bỏ đại từ quan hệ.

Eg: The picture (which) you are looking at is very expensive

. - Nhưng khi giới từ đứng trước đại từ quan hệ thí ta không thể bỏ đại từ quan hệ:
Eg: The picture at which you are looking is very expensive.
2. Giới từ không dùng trước That Who:
3. Khi động từ trong mệnh đề là Phrasal verbs: không được chuyển giới từ lên trước ĐTQH whom
/which:

Eg: Did you find the word which you were looking up?

The child whom I have looked after for a year is very naughty.

 The man whom you are looking forward to is the chairman of the company.

4. Without luôn đứng trước whom/ which:

 Eg: The woman without whom I can‘t live is Jane.

Fortunately we had a map without which we would have got lost.
5. Các đại từ quan hệ có chức năng tân ngữ (mà trước chúng không có giới từ) trong mệnh đề quan hệ xác
định đều có thể lược bỏ. Tuy nhiên trong mệnh đề quan hệ không xác định thì không thể lược bỏ.
Eg: That‟s the house (which) I have bought.
The woman (whom) you met yesterday works in advertising. (làm nghề quảng cáo)
Eg: Mr Tom, whom everybody suspected, turned out to be innocent.
II. Phó từ quan hệ (Rel tive Adverbs)

1. WHERE: thay thế cho cụm từ chỉ nơi chốn hoặc thay cho (in/ at / on... which), there / here.

Ex: - The movie theater is the place. We can see films at that place.
=>The movie theater is the place where we can see films.
at which

Eg: That is the house. We used to live in it. => That is the house where we used to live. (= in which)

This is the table. My teacher put his book on it. => This is the table where my teacher put his book. (= on which) 2.

WHEN:thay thế cho cụm từ chỉ thời gian hoặc thay cho (in/ on/at... which), then

 Ex: - Do you remember the day. We first met on that day.
=>Do you remember the day when/on which we first met?

Eg: That was the time when he managed the company. (= at which)
=>Spring is the season when flowers of all kinds are in full bloom. (= in which)

 3. WHY (for which): thay thế cho cụm trạng từ chỉ lí do.

Ex: - Tell me the reason. You are so sad for that reason.
=>Tell me the reason why/for which you are so sad.
*Note:

 - “Where” có thể được sử dụng mà không cần cụm từ chỉ nơi chốn. Eg: Put it where we all can see it. - Không sử dụng giới từ trước “Where, When, Why”.

Eg: The building in where he lives/ where he lives in is very old. (sai) => The building in which he lives is very old.
III. CÁC LOẠI MỆNH ĐỀ QUAN HỆ (Defining & Non-Defining relative clauses)
1. Defining Relative Clauses:

- Dùng để bổ nghĩa cho danh từ đứng trước chưa được xác định rõ, nếu bỏ đi thí mệnh đề chình sẽ
không rõ nghĩa. (modify the antecedent which is unclear in meaning)

Ex: - I saw the girl. She helped us last week.
=>I saw the girl who/that helped us last week.
• LƯU Ý: Ta có thể bỏ đại từ quan hệ: WHO, WHOM, WHICH, THAT khi chúng làm tân ngữ
trong MĐQH hạn định.
2. Non-Defining Relative Clauses:

- Dùng để bổ nghĩa cho danh từ đứng trước đã được xác định rõ (nó chỉ là phần giải thìch thêm), nếu bỏ đi
thí mệnh đề chình vẫn rõ nghĩa (modify the antecedent which is clear in meaning, so it‟s just an extra
information).

- Mệnh đề này ngăn cách với mệnh đề chình bằng dấu phẩy (use commas to separate with main clause).
Ta dùng mệnh đề quan hệ không hạn định khi:
+ Trước đại từ quan hệ có: this/th t/these/those/my/her/his/…+ N
+ Từ trước đại từ quan hệ là tên riêng, d nh từ riêng, vật duy nhất.

 Ex: - My father is a doctor. He is fifty years old.
=>My father, who is fifty years old, is a doctor.

- Mr. Brown is a very nice teacher. We studied English with him.

=>Mr Brown, who we studied English with, is a very nice teacher.

 - The sun made the traveler thirsty. It was hot at midday.
=>The Sun, which was hot at midday, made the traveler thirsty.
* LƯU Ý: + KHÔNG được bỏ đại từ quan hệ trong MĐQH không hạn định.
+ KHÔNG dùng THAT trong mệnh đề này.
B. REDUCED RELATIVE CLAUSES
Điều kiện: Khi đại từ quan hệ làm chủ ngữ trong mệnh đề quan hệ, trước ĐTQH không có giới từ.
1. Dùng phân từ:
a. Dùng hiện tại phân từ (present participle): V-ing -> Khi V trong MĐ ở dạng chủ động

 Eg: + The man who is standing there is my brother. => The man standing there is my brother

+ Bill, who wanted to make an impression on Ann, invited her to his house. => Bill, wanting to make an impression on Ann, invited her to his house.
* Notes: Không nên dùng HTPT để diễn đạt hành động đơn trong quá khứ.

 Eg: + The police wanted to interview the people who saw the accident.

=> The police wanted to interview the people seeing the accident. (không nên)
But: + The people who saw the accident had to report it to the police.

=> The people seeing the accident had to report it to the police.
b) Dùng quá khứ phân từ (Past participle): Ved/3 Khi V trong MĐ ở dạng bị động

Eg:

+ The boy who was injured in the accident was taken to the hospital. => The boy injured in the accident…………………………………… .

+ Most of the goods that are made in this factory are exported. => Most of the goods made in this factory are exported.
+ Some of the people who have been invited to the party can‘t come. => Some of the people invited to the party can‘t come.
2) Dùng cụm to inf: (To V/ For sb to V / to be + PII...) (2)
-Dùng khi danh từ đứng trước có các từ sau đây: The ONLY, LAST, FIRST, NEXT, SECOND...

Ex: + This is the only student who can solve the problem. (động từ mang nghĩa chủ động) => This is the only student to solve the problem.

 + She is the youngest player who won the game. => She is the youngest player to win the game.
- ĐTQH là tân ngữ trong mệnh đề, khi muốn diễn đạt mục đích, sự cho phẫp.

Ex: + The children need a big yard which they can play in.
=> The children need a big yard to play in.
-Câu bắt đầu bằng: HERE (BE), THERE (BE)

Ex: + Here is the form that you must fill in. => Here is the form for you to fill in.

+ There are six letters which have to be written today. (động từ mang nghĩa bị động) There are six letters to be written today.
GHI NHỚ: Trong phần to-inf này cần nhớ 2 điều sau:

 - Nếu chủ ngữ của 2 mệnh đề khác nhau thí dùng for sb +to V.

Ex: + We have some picture books that children can read. => We have some picture books for children to read.
-Tuy nhiên nếu chủ ngữ đó là đại từ có nghĩa chung chung như: we, you, everyone.... thí có thể không cần ghi ra.

 Ex:   + Studying abroad is the wonderful thing that we must think about. => Studying abroad is the wonderful thing (for us) to think about

. - Nếu trước relative pronouns có giới từ thí phải đưa giới từ xuống cuối câu.

Ex: + We have a peg on which we can hang our coat. => We have a peg to hang our coat on.

3) Dùng cụm danh từ (đồng cách danh từ/ ngữ đồng vị)
Dùng khi mệnh đề quan hệ có dạng:
Which/ Who+ BE + DANH TỪ /CỤM DANH TỪ / CỤM GIỚI TỪ/ TÍNH TỪ (3)
Cách làm: bỏ who, which và be

Ex: Vo Nguyen Giap, who was the first general of Vietnam, passed away one week ago. => VNG, the first general of Vietnam, passed away one week ago.

 Ex: We visited Barcelona, which is a city in northern Spain. => We visited Barcelona, a city in northern Spain.
PHƯƠNG PHÁP LÀM BÀI LOẠI RÚT GỌN MĐQH:
Bước 1 : - Tím xem mệnh đề quan hệ nằm ở đâu.
Bước 2: Rút gọn mệnh đề quan hệ thành cụm danh từ.

                1. Nhín xem mệnh đề có công thức S + BE + CỤM DANH TỪ không ?Nếu có áp dụng công thức (3).

                2. Nếu không có công thức đó thí xem tiếp trước ĐTQH có các dấu hiệu the first,only, second, third.... /so sánh hơn nhất…, nếu có thí áp dụng công thức (2). Lưu ý thêm, xem 2 chủ ngữ có khác nhau không (để
dùng for sb+ V)

                3. Nếu không có 2 trường hợp trên mới xẫt xem câu đó chủ động hay bị động mà dùng V-ing hay Ved/3.
C. REDUCED CLAUSES: RÚT GỌN MỆNH ĐỀ TRẠNG TỪ (Reduce n dverbi l cl use)
* Điều kiện: Chủ từ trong mệnh đề chình và mệnh đề trạng từ giống nhau
* Cách rút gọn: - Bỏ các liên từ bắt đầu một mệnh đề trạng từ. - Chuyển các hính thức động từ ở dạng chủ động thành present participle (đối với các thí đơn / tiếp diễn) hoặc having + past participle (V3, ed) (đối với các thí hoàn thành).
Example: + After he had finished his work, he went home.
=>(After) having finished his work, he went home.

+ He was lying on the floor, he was reading a book.

=>Lying on the floor, he was reading a book.
Or: He was lying on the floor, reading a book.

- Giữ nguyên hính thức động từ ở dạng bị động ở dạng past participle hoặc being + past participle (Đối
với các thí đơn / tiếp diễn) hoặc having been + past participle (V3, ed) (đối với các thí hoàn thành).
Example: + He was punished by his father, he cried bitterly.
=>Being punished by his father, he cried bitterly.
Or: Punished by his father, he cried bitterly.

+ After she had been treated cruelly by her husband, she divorced him.

 - Hai hành động xảy ra trước sau (thường rút ngắn mđ xảy ra trước)

+ When I came home, I turned on the lights. -> Coming home, I turned on the lights.
b. Mệnh đề trạng từ chỉ nguyên nhân

. + Because she was unable to afford a car, she bought a motorcycle.
=>Being unable to afford a car, she bought a motorcycle.

 + She felt very confident because she had prepared well for the test.

=>Having gone to the party, you would have met her.
