The Logic of Relatives and Prepositions | PAGS Unit

PAGS Level 3/4 Preparation

The Logic of
Relatives & Prepositions

Informal vs Formal. Do you drag the preposition at the end, or do you move it to the VIP front seat? Informal vs Formal. ¿Arrastras la preposición al final o la pones en el asiento VIP delantero?

Start Game (20 Qs)

INFORMAL (Everyday)

"The girl (who) I spoke TO."

Preposition at the end.

La chica con la que hablé. (Preposición al final).

FORMAL (Elegant)

"The girl TO WHOM I spoke."

Preposition moves front + WHOM.

La chica a quien hablé. (Preposición delante + WHOM).

Roadmap to Success

The Comma Logic

Defining vs Non-Defining.

The Ghost Rule

When can we omit the pronoun?

The Game

50 Question Challenge.

Phase 1

Choose your "Glue"

Dependiendo de a qué te refieras, necesitas un "pegamento" distinto. Haz clic para escuchar.

Refers to...

Pronoun

Example

People

WHO / THAT

The girl who lives here.

Things

WHICH / THAT

The car which is red.

Places

WHERE

The hotel where we stayed.

Time

WHEN

The day when we met.

Possession

WHOSE

The boy whose dog is big.

Neuro Tip: Hooks

Imagina que los pronombres son "ganchos" (). La primera frase tiene un objeto, y el pronombre "engancha" la información extra a ese objeto.

¡Cuidado con WHOSE!

Whose sustituye a "My, Your, His, Her, Its, Our, Their".
"I met a man. His car was gold."
↓
"I met a man WHOSE car was gold."

Phase 2

The Comma Logic

¿Pongo comas o no? Todo depende de si la información es vital o "cotilleo".

DEFINING

Essential Info

Sin comas. Si lo quitas, la frase no se entiende.

"The man who called me is here."

Define exactamente quién es.
NO COMMAS.
Puedes usar THAT.

NON-DEFINING

Extra "Gossip"

Con comas. Si lo quitas, la frase sigue teniendo sentido.

"My boss , who called me , is angry."

Añade info extra (sabemos quién es "My boss").
COMMAS = Pausas para respirar.
NEVER use THAT.

Phase 3

The Ghost Rule (Omission)

A veces, el pronombre puede desaparecer como un fantasma. Haz clic para escuchar y ver la magia.

The Rule: Object Pronoun

Solo puedes quitar Who/Which/That si va seguido inmediatamente de un SUJETO (I, You, He, The man...).

Can omit (Click me)

The book that I read.

Cannot omit (No subject after)

The book that is on the table.
