Writing for IELTS, session2

Structures:

Who:
Noun (human) + [who + finite verb].

Example:
Mr. Brown who came yesterday like to see you again.
Who: connector/ subject, Came: transitive verb

Whom:
Noun (human) + [whom + subject + finite verb]

Example:
The girl whom we saw in the park had been in a terrible accident before.
Whom: connector/object, Saw: intransitive verb,

Which:
Noun (non-human) + [which + finite verb]

Example:
The table which is broken cannot be fixed today.
Noun (non-human) + [which + subject + finite verb]

Example:
The table which you bought at the antique fair is very nice.
I am tired of all the trouble which you are causing.

Notice:
For (teem, group, staff, …) “which” is used as a connector.

Example:
The committee which started the argument is closed now,
The committee which you joined is not appropriate for you.

When:
Noun (time) + [when + sub + finite verb (intransitive)] (The noun should be
the time in which the verb happens)

Example:
Do you remember the day when Sam arrived?
I enjoy the day when I am free.
Spring is the season when all flowers blossom.

If the noun is not the time in which the verb happens, “when” will replace with
which.
Example:
I like the day which is not so hot.
Spring is the season which I like best.

Where:
Noun (place) + [where + subject + finite verb (intransitive) (The noun
should be the place in which the verb happens.).

Example:
The city where I was born is now famous for its high crime rate.

Example:
The city which I love most is Tehran.
The city which is located in the north is Rasht.
The city which I suggest you to visit is Isfahan.

Notice:
It is also correct to replace “where” with “in which” or “which….in”.

That:
Noun (place) [where/in which/which in/ that….in + subject+ finite verb.] Example:
Do you know the city that I was born in.

Why:
Noun (reason) [why + subject + finite verb] (The noun should be the reason of
the verb.)

Example:
Do you know the reason why I was arguing?

Whose:
Noun (person owner) [whose + noun (owned) + finite verb] Example:
The chairman whose committee won the election, had been very
prosperous last year.

Of which:
Noun (non-person owner) [noun (owned) + of which + finite verb]

Example:
The table the leg of which is broken must have been very expensive.
