Relative Pronouns

 

  • Relative Pronouns

  • Relative pronouns are words that join clauses together to form complex sentences. Use relative pronouns to avoid repeating information.

    Relative pronouns have two categories: 
    1. For people: that, who, whom, whose
    2. For animals/things: that, what

    We bought a house. The house has a swimming pool.We bought a house that has a swimming pool.
  • *Be careful! Always keep the relative pronoun close to the noun it replaces to avoid confusion.
    -She wants to buy a house on this street that has a garden. (Does the house or the street have a garden?)
    -She wants to buy a house that has a garden on this street. (The house has a garden.)
