Relative Clauses: Advanced Usage
Relative clauses are an important part of English grammar. They help us give more information about a noun in a sentence. This lesson will focus on advanced usage, including defining and non-defining relative clauses.
Key Points
- Relative clauses give extra information about a noun.
- Defining relative clauses are essential for understanding the sentence.
- Non-defining relative clauses add extra information but are not needed for the sentence to make sense.
Inversion for Emphasis
Inversion for emphasis is a grammatical structure in English that changes the usual order of words in a sentence. This technique is often used to give more importance to a particular part of the sentence. In English, we typically use the Subject-Verb-Object order, but with inversion, we can change this order to highlight specific elements.
Key Points
- Inversion places emphasis on a specific part of the sentence.
- It is often used in formal writing and speech.
- Common forms of inversion include negative adverbials and certain expressions.
