Sažetak
Relative clauses in the use of English as a second language are very often considered as one rather simple language construction, yet some space for their acquisition is left to the very end of student’s language learning. One of the possible reasons may be the fact that the necessity for their correct usage is much stressed in the written rather than in spoken language. Maybe because the fact that at this stage the possibility of writing is normally at a higher level, and errors that commonly occur mainly concern this written part where their possible incorrect usage is more visible and can significantly affect the meaning of the whole sentence. The relative clause is in speaking marked rather by intonation. The correct understanding of subordinate relative clauses can help students to make a better use of them in written language.
