Prepositional Relative Clauses

• Prepositions are (حروف الجر) à in, on, at, of, for, from, to, with, without, by, over, near, behind, …
• We have two kinds of prepositional relative pronouns:

First –> Informal / Less formal

• Preposition –> at the end of the relative clause.
• Relative Pronouns –> who, which, that
• Don’t drop relative pronoun.
• Examples:

That is the teacher                            I was talking to him

• That’s the teacher who/that I was talking to.

This is the book.                                She told me about it.

• This is the book which/that she told me about.

Second –> Formal

• Preposition à before the relative pronoun. تصبح الجملة رسمية فقط بنقل حرف الجر إلى قبل ضمير الوصل
• Relative Pronouns à whom, which. وهذا يتم فقط مع ضميري الوصل
• Don’t drop relative pronoun.
• Examples

That is the teacher                            I was talking to him

• That’s the teacher to whom I was talking.

This is the book.                                She told me about it.

• This is the book about which she told me.
