GRAMMAR REVIEW! Relative pronouns

Relative pronouns introduce relative clauses, which give more information about a noun in the sentence.

Common Relative Pronouns:

• who - used for people (and sometimes animals)
The teacher who helped me was kind.
• whom - used for people (object form)
The student whom I met is smart.
• whose - used for possession (people/things)
The artist whose work I love is famous.
• which - used for things/animals
The book which I read was amazing.
• that - used for people/things/animals
The car that broke down is new.

Usage Tips:

Who vs. Whom
Use who as the subject of the clause, whom as the object.
➤ "The man who called" vs. "The man whom I called"

That vs. Which Use that for essential (restrictive) information, which for non-essential (non-restrictive).
➤ "The movie that won the award..." (essential)
➤ "The movie, which was long, was fun." (non-essential; usually with commas)
