Relative Pronoun
We use a relative pronoun to join two clauses to form a longer sentence.
Relative pronouns - that, which, who, whom, when, whose, whichever,
whatever, whomever, whomsoever, whatsoever, whosoever.
They are used to introduce dependent clauses, of which they act as the
subject.
Bob is my good friend who helped to repair my lawnmower.
(There are two clauses: Bob is my good friend [main clause] who helped to
repair my lawnmower [dependent clause]. The relative pronoun ‘who’ is the
subject of the dependent clause.)

PA R T S O F S P E E C H - P R O N O U N S
Relative pronouns should not be confused with subordinating or
coordinating conjunctions. They are used in different ways. Subordinating
conjunctions do not take the role of the subject of the dependent
(subordinate) clause. They are, in fact, followed by the subject of the
dependent clause.
The adults chatted while the children played.
(The main clause: The adults chatted, and the dependent clause: while the
children played. The subjects of both clauses are adults and children. The
subordinating conjunction ‘while’ is not the subject of the dependent
clause; it is followed by the subject.)

PA R T S O F S P E E C H - P R O N O U N S
Examples of Relative Pronoun ‘who’
Joining two clauses using the relative pronoun ‘who’.
The man is a visitor of a patient. He is dressed like a doctor.
The man who is dressed like a doctor is a visitor of a patient.
Who, in the example above, is used to refer to a man.

PA R T S O F S P E E C H - P R O N O U N S
Examples of Relative Pronoun ‘that’
She bought a pair of running shoes. She could use it for jogging.
She bought a pair of running shoes that she could use for jogging.
‘That’ is, the relative clause is used to replace the shoes, which is the

The butterfly is a beautiful insect. The butterfly has a complete life cycle.
This means that there are four separate stages and serves a different
purpose in the life of the insect.
The butterfly is a beautiful and delicate insect. The butterfly has four wings.
The wings have many different colors on them. As times passes, the colors
on its wings fade away. This means they lose color and are not as bright.
Sunlight can make things fade. For example, an old car that sits in the sun
will lose its color.
Butterflies live all over the world. Most butterflies live where it is warm and
not too dry.
