ABC Season 1 Episode 8 - Crocodile Tourism

  • relative pronouns
People have always been fascinated with death. Most of the mysteries that you see on television, the films that you see, involve murder in one kind or another. Crocodiles are one of the last remaining dinosaurs and the idea of a crocodile coming out of the water and grabbing somebody is absolutely riveting.
I read about the death of the German tourist who was taken by a crocodile. It didn't put me off coming to the Northern Territory, quite the opposite in fact. I think the NT is famous for its crocodiles and probably quite famous for its crocodile attacks and that tourists who come here would like to be, or feel as though they were, involved in that danger. Tourists want to have a story to take home and if they can say that they were in the Northern Territory where the German tourist was taken by the croc, then it adds to their own adventure.

To sum up, we use ‘that’ to define the subject.
We use ‘which’, in a clause with commas, to add extra information.
