Explanation:
Relative pronouns are also known as ‘linking pronouns’ as they link the dependent relative clause of a sentence to its main clause.
Relative PronounsLet’s read some examples of the following pairs of sentences and observe how these are joined with the help of relative pronouns:
I know the girl. The girl came from Mumbai.
It can be written as – I know the girl who came from Mumbai.
This is the book. This belongs to my grandmother.
It can be written as – This is the book which belongs to my grandmother.
This is the rat. It was caught by a cat.
This can be written as – This is the rat that was caught by a cat.
It is you. You are to be blamed.
It can be written as – It is you who are to be blamed.
The nouns and pronouns immediately before the relative pronouns are called the antecedents. Here, ‘book’, ‘rat’, and ‘you’ are antecedents.
How to recognize them?
We can find them in the middle of a sentence to join two sentences by denoting a relation to the antecedent, like who, whose, whom, which, that. For example, this is the boy who stood first.
Classification of Relative Pronouns
Relative pronouns can be classified as follows:
Relative Pronoun Used For Examples
Who ( As Subject ) Persons only
(Both singular and plural) He who hesitates is lost.
Whom ( As Object ) Persons only
(Both singular and plural) These are the boys whom all praise.
Whose ( Possessive ) Persons and Things A triangle whose three sides are equal is called an equivalent triangle.
Which ( Object and Subject ) Things without life and animals. This is the way which leads to the Post Office.
That ( As Subject ) Persons, Animals and Things A dog that barks seldom bites.
It should be noted that the Relative Pronoun is usually used in the middle of the sentence. But the Relative Pronouns ‘what’, ‘who’ and ‘whom’ may sometimes be used at the beginning of a sentence and sometimes in the middle when the Antecedent is understood:
What has happened is not clear.
What cannot be cured must be endured.
Who laughs last laughs best.
I don’t know what has happened.
I say what I mean.
This is whom I want.
I know who he is.
