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
