RELATIVE PRONOUNS

WHAT IS A RELATIVE PRONOUN?

A relative pronoun functions as a word that links two clauses into a single complex clause. It is similar in function to a
subordinating conjunction. Unlike a conjunction, however, a relative pronoun stands in place of a noun.
In English, relative pronouns are who, whom, which, that, where, whose, when, why, what.

Relative pronouns with their usages and examples.

WHICH

“Which” refers to animals and objects.

Never leave that until tomorrow which you can do today.
He was unwilling to make a prediction about which books would sell in the coming year.

THAT

“That” refers to people, things, and animals (who and which can be replaced by that, which we use commonly in spoken
English)

It’s a poor mouse that has only on hole.


It is a good horse that never stumbles.
Think about the misfortune of others that you may be satisfied with your own lot.
WHO
