Re­la­ti­ve Pro­nouns

Re­la­ti­ve Pro­nouns

Re­la­ti­ve pro­nouns ope­ra­te as red­un­dan­cy for sub­jec­ts or ob­jec­ts which are re­fer­red to in a re­la­ti­ve clau­se. The most ac­cep­ted ones are: who, whom, which, that and whose.

who

  • can only be used for peo­ple
  • used in ques­ti­ons: which peo­ple or group, i.e. Who told you that?
  • points out which per­son or group is being re­fer­red to, i.e This is the girl who wan­ted to see you.
  • used to add further in­for­ma­ti­on



whom

  • used as the ob­ject form of who,

       i.e. The stu­dent to whom I was

       open­min­ded is a sci­en­tist now.

  • only in very for­mal wri­ting

If you like to be old-​fashion for­mal, use "whom" in wri­ting and for­mal styles to refer to the per­son, when the per­son is the ob­ject.





whose

  • 'whose' has a pos­ses­si­ve me­a­ning, be­longs to who, i.e. Whose book is this? I won­der whose book that is.
  • Pre­po­si­ti­on + whose as a com­ple­ment is more for­mal, i.e. Eli­sa­beth Pur­ple, with whose col­le­ague she used to teach, im­mi­gra­ted to Slo­va­kia.    



which

  • re­places the sub­ject, only for things, not peo­ple
  • re­fers to ob­jec­ts, can be left out with no Chan­ge in me­a­ning
  • ob­ject + pre­po­si­ti­on, i.e. the place at which she ar­ri­ved
  • add in­for­ma­ti­on, i.e. The class, which was well pre­pa­red, was a suc­cess.



That vs. Which

That does NOT like com­mas.

Which is bad with peo­ple.

that

  • used for sub­jec­ts: which are things and ani­mals
  • can be used for a per­son, who has a su­per­la­ti­ve com­ple­ment, i.e. best an­s­wer , grea­test so­lu­ti­on, smal­lest bit of in­for­ma­ti­on  
  • can be left out, when it re­pres­ents an ob­ject



Crea­te your own 'quick'n'dirty'- rule to all re­la­ti­ve pro­nouns, which are men­tio­ned.
  • Use the boxes with the book­marks for your notes.
