Answers
Answer:
The relative pronouns are:
Subject Object Possessive
who who/whom whose
which which whose
that that -
We use relative pronouns to introduce relative clauses. Relative clauses tell us more about people and things:
Lord Thompson, who is 76, has just retired.
This is the house which Jack built.
Marie Curie is the woman that discovered radium.
We use:
who and whom for people
which for things
that for people or things.
Two kinds of relative clause
There are two kinds of relative clause:
1. We use relative clauses to make clear which person or thing we are talking about:
Marie Curie is the woman who discovered radium.
This is the house which Jack built.
In this kind of relative clause, we can use that instead of who or which:
Marie Curie is the woman that discovered radium.
This is the house that Jack built.
We can leave out the pronoun if it is the object of the relative clause:
This is the house that Jack built. (that is the object of built)
Relative pronouns 1
Relative pronouns 2
Be careful!
The relative pronoun is the subject/object of the relative clause, so we do not repeat the subject/object:
Marie Curie is the woman who she discovered radium.
(who is the subject of discovered, so we don't need she)
This is the house that Jack built it.
(that is the object of built, so we don't need it)
2. We also use relative clauses to give more information about a person, thing or situation:
Lord Thompson, who is 76, has just retired.
We had fish and chips, which I always enjoy.
I met Rebecca in town yesterday, which was a nice surprise.
With this kind of relative clause, we use commas (,) to separate it from the rest of the sentence.
Be careful!
In this kind of relative clause, we cannot use that:
Lord Thompson, who is 76, has just retired.
(NOT Lord Thompson, that is 76, has just retired.)
and we cannot leave out the pronoun:
We had fish and chips, which I always enjoy.
(NOT We had fish and chips, I always enjoy.)
