This lesson centers on the relative pronoun, a form you've used all your life but may not have thought about how it really functions.
A relative pronoun introduces a relative clause, so called because the pronoun "relates" the clause to the main sentence, e. There are no fewer than five ways to represent the relative pronoun in English:. Who : I have a friend who eats fish. Which : And I have a fish which eats friends. That : It's a piranha that eats people.
What : What my piranha eats is none of your business. Zero : Unless you're my friend, why do you care about the food my piranha eats? Note the following:. Relative clauses are a type of subordinate clause.
Subordinate clauses have their own "grammar" subject, verb, possibly also objects and prepositional phrases and, though linked into a main sentence in some way, they do not serve as part of it. The relative pronoun which introduces the relative clause links the clause to the sentence through its antecedent, a word usually a noun in the main sentence, for instance:. In this sentence, Here is the student is the main sentence which stands on its own grammatically and, while who murdered his Latin teacher has its own subject and verb, it is not an independent statement but a relative clause.
This who is to be distinguished from the interrogative who which asks a question and tends to come at the front of a sentence or thought, e. While strictly not part of the main sentence, a relative clause is linked to the main sentence grammatically through the relative pronoun which straddles both.
The relative clause in the example above is who murdered his Latin teacher , and its antecedent is the student which it describes or modifies i. The clause has its own subject who , verb murdered and direct object teacher. The who links this mini-sentence to the antecedent student in the main sentence.
