RELATIVE PRONOUNS
Relative Pronouns take the place
of nouns or pronouns. They are
called relative pronouns because
they always relate back to
something or someone else. They
are used to join two sentences about
the same person or thing.
USING RELATIVE PRONOUNSSubject Pronoun
1) WhoWho is used to people as a subject. We use who to replace the subject pronouns I, she, he, we and they.
Example :The man is My father. The man helped
you yesterday.The man who helped you yesterday is
My father.
2) Which/That
Is used to modify thing that functions as a subject.
Example :The letter is in the drawer. The letter came from Jhon.The letter that came form Jhon is in the drawer. The film was not good. We saw the film at Roy theater
last night.The film that we saw at Roy theater last night was not
good.
The cat is sleeping under a table. It has eaten some fish.The cat which has eaten some fish is sleeping under a
table.
Object Pronoun
1) Whom
Whom is used to people as an Object.
We use whom to replace the object
pronouns me, her, him, us and them.
However, the use of whom is becoming less
common, especially in the United States,
and who is usually used instead of whom.
Example :
The man is my father. You helped the man
yesterday.
The man whom you helped yesterday is my
father.
2) Which
Which or that is used to replace the
position of a thing that functions as the
subject of a sentence. If there’s preposition
(of, from, by, with, to, all, off), then put
preposition before which.
Example :
The bag is full of money. I found the bag on
the bus this morning.
The bag which I found on the bus this
morning is full of money.
Possession
1) Whose
Whose is used to replace the position of
possessive adjective (for human only) or for people
who have something. We use whose to show
possession or relationship.
Example :
The lady is my neighbour. Her child is in hospital now.
The Lady whose child is in hospital now is my
neighbour.
2) Of which
Of which is used to replace the position of
possessive adjective (for things).
Example :
I sent the table back to the store. Its surface
is not smooth.
I sent the table of which surface is not
smooth back to the store.
RELATIVE PRONOUNS CONSIST OF TWO TYPES ARE :
Defining Relative : Just explain limited to the subject and written without commas.
Example : The boy who broke the school-window is Tom.
Non-Defining Relative : Explaining not limited only to the subject but there is some more information about the subject itself and written with a comma.
Example : Tom, who is naughty boy, broke the school-window
Two main different groups of
Relative Clauses :
DEFINING RELATIVE CLAUSESThey add information to a sentenceThey are needed or the sentence would be
incompleteThey usually go immediately after the noun they
refer to NON - DEFINING RELATIVE CLAUSES We add information but the sentence is complete
without themThey go between commasWe can’t use THATWe can’t omit the pronounIt’s formal style
