$\bold{\huge{\fbox{\color{blue}{Relative\: Pronoun}}}}$

Relative pronoun is used to join sentences or phrases, clauses of a sentence and introduce noun clause and relative clause. It comes in the middle of a sentence.

The noun to which a relative pronoun refers to is called its antecedent.

Some relative pronoun examples are who, that, which, whose, whom and what.

Who = It refers to a person.

That = It refers to an animal, person or thing.

Which = It refers to an animal or thing.

Whose = It is used to refer to persons, animals and also non-living things.

Whom = It has a limited use only. It is used in formal written English. In modern informal English, it is replaced by who, and it can also be replaced by that except after a preposition.

What = It is used to refer to things only. It gives the sense of that which (or the 'thing' which). This is the only relative pronoun that is used in sentences without an antecedent.

In sentences:-

1. Those who are honest can be trusted.

2. I found the pen that I had lost.

3. I want the book which I so yesterday.

4. Ram is the boy whose sister works abroad.

5. The boy whom I met at the cinema hall is Uday.

6. This is what I wanted to caution him about.
