What Are Relative Pronouns?
Relative pronouns are used to link a relative clause to another part of a sentence and has the job of introducing the relative clause. We use the term “relative” pronoun because it “relates” to the word it is modifying. Clever right?
Here is the list. The relative pronouns are that, which, whom, who, whoever, whomever and whichever. One aspect of grammar that seems to cause a lot of confusion is when to use who and when to use whom. Let’s clear that up right now, shall we? Use the relative pronouns who and whoever if you are referring to the subject of the sentence. Use whom and whomever if you’re referring to the objects of a verb or preposition. Have questions?
