Relative Pronouns A relative pronoun is a pronoun that introduces a relative clause. It is called a "relative" pronoun because it "relates" to the word that it modifies. Here is an example: The person who phoned me last night is my teacher. In the above example, "who": •relates to "person", which it modifies •introduces the relative clause "who phoned me last night“ There are five basic relative pronouns: who, whom, whose, which, that* Who (subject) and whom (object) are generally only for people. Whose is for possession. Which is for things. In non- defining relative clauses, that can’t be used. In defining relative clauses (clauses that are essential to the sentence and do not simply add extra information) that can be used for things and people**. Relative pronouns can refer to singular or plural, and there is no difference between male and female.

Relative Pronouns

A relative pronoun is a pronoun that introduces a relative clause. It is called a "relative" pronoun because it "relates" to the word that it modifies. Here is an example: The person who phoned me last night is my teacher. In the above example, "who": •relates to "person", which it modifies •introduces the relative clause "who phoned me last night“ There are five basic relative pronouns: who, whom, whose, which, that* Who (subject) and whom (object) are generally only for people. Whose is for possession. Which is for things. In non-defining relative clauses, that can’t be used. In defining relative clauses (clauses that are essential to the sentence and do not simply add extra information) that can be used for things and people**. Relative pronouns can refer to singular or plural, and there is no difference between male and female.

Look at these examples showing defining and non-defining relative clauses:

example sentences S=subject, O=object, P=possessive

notes

defining relative clauses

subject

- The person who phoned me last night is my teacher. - The person that phoned me last night is

my teacher. - - The car which hit me was yellow. - - The car that hit me was yellow.

That is preferable

defining relative clauses

object - The person whom I phoned last night is my teacher. - The people who I phoned last night are my teachers. - The person that I phoned last night is my teacher. - The person I phoned last night is my

teacher.

- The car which I drive is old. - The car that I drive is old. - The car I drive is old.

Whom is correct but formal. The relative pronoun is optional. That is preferable to which. The relative pronoun is optional.

example sentences S=subject, O=object, P=possessive

notes

defining relative clauses

Possessive - The dog is over there. The dog's / its owner lives next door. - → The dog whose owner lives

next door is over there.

- The little girl is sad. The little girl's / her doll was lost.

- → The little girl whose doll was lost is sad.

'Whose' is always the subject of the relative clause and can't be left out. It replaces a possessive. It can be used for people and things.

Possessive The police are looking for the car whose driver was masked. - The police are looking for the car of which the driver was masked.

Whose can be used with things. Of which is also possible.

notes

non-defining relative clauses

Subject - Mrs Pratt, who is very kind, is my teacher.

- - The car, which was a taxi, exploded.

- - The cars, which were taxis, exploded.

We don't use 'that' in non-defining relative clauses.

Object - Mrs Pratt, whom I like very much, is my teacher. - Mrs Pratt, who I like very much,

is my teacher.

- - The car, which I was driving at the time, suddenly caught fire.

Whom is correct but formal. Who is common in spoken English and informal written English.

Possessive - My brother, whose phone you just heard, is a doctor.

- - The car, whose driver jumped out just before the accident, was completely destroyed.
