50 Bài tập Rút gọn mệnh đề quan hệ cực hay có lời giải

Phần I. Lý thuyết

1. Rút gọn mệnh đề quan hệ bằng cách dùng hiện tại phân từ V_ing (Present participle phrases)

Nếu động từ trong mệnh đề quan hệ ở thể chủ động (active), ta dùng cụm hiện tại phân từ (V_ing) thay cho mệnh đề đó.

*Bỏ đại từ quan hệ và động từ “to be”:

Ví dụ: The girl who is wearing glasses is my cousin.

→ The girl wearing glasses is my cousin. (Cô gái mang kính chính là em họ của tôi.)

*Bỏ đại từ quan hệ, đưa động từ chính về nguyên mẫu và thêm đuôi “-ing”:

Ví dụ: The girl who wore glasses is my cousin.

→ The girl wearing glasses is my cousin. (Cô gái mang kính chính là em họ của tôi.)

2. Rút gọn mệnh đề quan hệ bằng cách dùng quá khứ phân từ V3/ed (Past participle phrases)

- Nếu động từ trong mệnh đề quan hệ ở thể bị động (passive) ta dùng cụm quá khứ phân từ (past participle phrase)

- Ta bỏ đại từ quan hệ (relative pronouns), động từ to be, nhưng vẫn giữ quá khứ phân từ V3/ed.

Ví dụ: The book which was published by AC magazine is the best-seller of this month.

→ The book published by AC magazine is the best-seller of this month.

(Quyển sách được xuất bản bởi tạp chí AC chính là sản phẩm bán chạy nhất tháng này.)

3. Rút gọn mệnh đề quan hệ bằng “to infinitive”

*Khi danh từ đứng trước có các chữ sau đây bổ nghĩa: the only, the first, the second,…, the last, so sánh nhất

Ví dụ: He was the last man who left the room

→ He was the last man to leave the room. (Anh ta là người cuối cùng rời phòng.)

*Động từ là have/ had

Ví dụ: I had some exercises that I need to do.

→ I had some exercises to do. (Tôi có một số bài tập cần phải làm.)

* Đầu câu có Here (be), There (be):

Ví dụ: Here is the form that you must fill in.

→ Here is the form for you to fill in. (Đây là mẫu để bạn điền thông tin vào.)

4. Rút gọn mệnh đề quan hệ bằng cách sử dụng cụm danh từ

Đối với mệnh đề quan hệ không xác định có thể được rút gọn bằng cách dùng cụm danh từ có dạng: Relative Pronoun + be + danh từ/ cụm danh từ/ cụm giới từ

Cách làm: bỏ đại từ quan hệ như who ,which và bỏ luôn cả be.

Ví dụ: Taylor, who is a popular singer, has just split up with her boyfriend.

→ Taylor, a popular singer, has just split up with her boyfriend. (Taylor, một ca sĩ nổi tiếng, vừa mới chia tay bạn trai.)

5. Rút gọn mệnh đề quan hệ dạng be + tính từ/ cụm tính từ

Nếu phía trước là đại từ phiếm chỉ (anybody, something, anything…) hay trước đại từ quan hệ có dấu phẩy và có 2 tính từ phía sau chúng ta bỏ đại từ và “to be”, giữ nguyên tính từ. Các trường hợp khác chúng ta đưa tính từ lên trước danh từ.

Ví dụ: My grandmother, who is old and sick, never goes out of the house.

→ My grandmother, old and sick, never goes out of the house.

(Bà tôi, già yếu, không bao giờ ra khỏi nhà.)

6. Rút gọn mệnh đề quan hệ bằng cách lược bỏ đại từ

- Nếu đại từ quan hệ có vai trò tân ngữ trong mệnh đề quan hệ, ta lược bỏ đại từ quan hệ.

Ví dụ: It’s the best song that I have ever heard. (Đây là bài hát hay nhất mà tớ từng nghe.)

→ It’s the best song I have ever heard.

Trong mệnh đề quan hệ “that I have ever heard”, “that” đóng vai trò tân ngữ của “have heard”. Vì vậy chúng ta có thể rút gọn mệnh đề quan hệ bằng cách lược bỏ “that” như ví dụ trên.

- Trong trường hợp có giới từ đứng trước đại từ quan hệ, ta đảo giới từ ra cuối mệnh đề quan hệ.

Ví dụ: I saw the boy to whom you talked yesterday. (Tôi đã trông thấy cậu trai mà bạn nói chuyện hôm qua.)

→ I saw the boy you talked to yesterday.

Trong mệnh đề quan hệ “to whom you talked yesterday”, “whom” chính là tân ngữ của mệnh đề và “to” là giới từ của “talk”. Vì vậy chúng ta có thể rút gọn mệnh đề quan hệ bằng cách lược bỏ “whom” và chuyển “to” xuống cuối mệnh đề quan hệ.

Ví dụ: The knife with which Suzie cut the birthday cake was really sharp. (Con dao mà cậu cắt bánh sinh nhật hôm qua sắc thật.)

→ The knife you cut the cake with was really sharp.

Trong mệnh đề quan hệ “with which Suzie cut the birthday cake”, “which” đóng vai trò tân ngữ, do đó chúng ta có thể rút gọn mệnh đề quan hệ bằng cách lược bỏ “which”, và đảo giới từ “with” về cuối mệnh đề quan hệ.

7. Các bước rút gọn mệnh đề quan hệ

Bước 1: Tìm xem mệnh đề tính từ nằm ở đâu, mệnh đề tính từ thường bắt đầu bằng who, which, that,…

Bước 2: Bước này chủ yếu là giảm từ mệnh đề xuống cụm từ.

1. Nhìn xem mệnh đề có công thức của cụm danh từ không? Nếu có áp dụng công thức ở mục IV.

2. Nếu không có công thức đó thì xem các dấu hiệu như the first, only,… không, nếu có thì áp dụng công thức ở mục III. Ngoài ra, cần phải thêm xem 2 chủ từ có khác nhau không (để dùng for sb).

3. Nếu không có 2 trường hợp trên mới xét xem câu đó chủ động hay bị động mà dùng V-ing hay V-ed.
