Vzťažné vety


VZŤAŽNÉ ZÁMENÁ      
=  RELATIVE PRONOUNS
VZŤAŽNÉ SÚVETIA     
=  RELATIVE CLAUSES

WHO používa sa s OSOBAMI
WHICH - používa sa s VECAMI, PREDMETMI, NEŽIVÝMI , používa sa s PREDLOŽKAMI
THAT používa sa s OSOBAMI, aj s VECAMI
najmä vystupňované príd.mená, 
po radových číslovkách, 
po neurčit.zámenách (some, any, all, every)

-      Používajú sa na DOPLNENIE informácie, 
    bližšie určujú osobu, vec, zviera
-      Ak je zámeno predmetom vedľajšej vety, 
    môžu sa vynechať. Význam vety sa nezmení.

    písanie čiarok:
   ČIARKY ÁNO – ak ide o doplňujúcu info, význam vety sa nezmení
   ČIARKY NIE – ak ide o dôležitú info, ktorá nám zmení význam vety

Ex: My brother, who lives in Prague, has 2 sons.
                              Doplňujúca info
má jedného, vieme to a len dopĺňame info, kde žije
Ex: My brother who lives in Prague has 2 sons.
                             Doležitá info
má viac bratov a myslíme toho, kt.žije v Prahe


WHOSE – ktorého – privlastnenie
WHOM – spája s predložkou. S OSOBOU!
From whom – od ktorého, z ktorého
To whom - ktorému
About whom – o ktorom
With whom – s ktorým

Vzťažné zámeno možno vynechať = ak je predmetom vety. 
Vzťažné zámeno nemožno vynechať = ak je podmetom vety. 
Vzťažné zámeno je predmetom vety, keď je nasledované ďalším podmetom + slovesom. 

The woman that I met yesterday was very nice.
The woman that is speaking to my teacher is my mum.

V prvej vete môže byť vzťažné zámeno vynechané, pretože je predmetom vzťažnej vety ("the woman that I met"). V druhej vete nemôže byť vzťažné zámeno vynechané, pretože "the woman" je podmetom slovesa "is speaking". 

Is it possible not to use THAT in these sentences?

The girl that won the prize comes from Poland.
That boy that is standing next to my friend is called Tom.
The cat that we saw running on the roof died yesterday.
Collie is the dog that I am afraid of.
