(code notes: X_080)
Relative pronouns
Relative pronouns in English grammar are used to connect two sentences. They are also used to provide additional information about a noun or a pronoun in a sentence.
Below is a list of the main Relative pronouns used in English grammar:
-Who - It is used to refer to people.
-Whom - It is used to refer to people (object of the sentence).
-Which - It is used to refer to things or animals.
-That - It is used for people, things or animals.
-Whose - It is used to indicate possession, both for people and things.
Here is a sort of scheme:
SUBJECT - OBJECT - POSSESSIVE
who - who/whom - whose
which - which - whose
that - that - ___
Summary of the use of Relative pronouns
who and whom for people
which for things
that for people or things
Examples
If we want to let someone know that we would like to return a dress because we don't like it, we can use the following sentence (the Relative pronouns are in bold)
This is the dress which I would like to return.
Another example could be to inform that the doctor who examined our mother is a friend of ours.
The sentence could be the following (the Relative pronouns are in bold)
My friend, who is a doctor, examined my mother.
Whose
Whose is used as a possessive form of who.
Here is an example where we introduce our friend Lucia, adding the information that Lucia's mother was our maths teacher.
This is Lucia, whose mother was my Maths teacher.
Conclusions
The most well-known Relative pronouns in English grammar are: who, which, that, whose, whom.
Question
When you speak to someone in English, do you often use Relative pronouns or do you try to break sentences in two so as not to use them?
