Writing for IELTS, session 2

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.
