Relative Clauses Mind Map: Key Branches
A relative clauses mind map organizes how English adds information about a noun using relative clauses. The main split is between defining clauses, which identify which noun is meant and take no commas, and non-defining clauses, which add extra detail and are set off by commas. Each branch then covers the relative pronouns, such as who, which, that, whose, where and when, and the rules for choosing between them.
- Defining clauses: identify the noun, no commas, often use that
- Non-defining clauses: extra detail, set off by commas
- Relative pronouns: who, whom, whose, which, that
- Relative adverbs: where, when, why
- Omitting pronouns: when the pronoun is the object in a defining clause
Use the map to revise before a test by covering branches and recalling the rules. To build a version from your own worksheet, CogniGuide turns your notes into a personalized map.
Relative Clauses Questions
Answers on clause types and making your own map.
What is the difference between defining and non-defining relative clauses?
A defining clause identifies which person or thing you mean, so it is needed for the sentence to make sense and takes no commas. A non-defining clause gives extra information about a noun that is already identified, and it is set off by commas.
When can you use that instead of who or which?
That is common in defining clauses for people or things. It is generally avoided in non-defining clauses, where who or which is standard after a comma.
Which file types can I use to build a relative clauses map?
You can upload a PDF, Word (DOCX) or PowerPoint (PPTX) file, a text or Markdown file, or an image of your notes. You can also type the topic directly.
Can I turn my relative clauses map into a quiz?
Yes. Your map can become a quiz to test yourself, and the same notes can be turned into flashcards. The free plan includes 5 creations a week.
