Relative Pronoun Questions
Relative Pronoun Questions
Relative Pronoun are the kinds of Pronoun that we use in a sentence to relate a noun with the independent clause. The relative Pronoun Questions can range from Fill in the blanks questions to error identification or sentence improvement as well.
- The words such as ‘who’, ‘whom’, ‘which’, ‘that’, ‘whose’, ‘what’ are known as relative pronouns in a sentence.
- The two types of clauses in relative pronoun are:
Defining Clause
A clause in a sentence that gives added information that is essential for a sentence to have meaning. This is also known as restrictive clause
Non-defining Clause
A clause in a sentence that gives added information but is not essential for a sentence to have meaning. The sentence would be meaningful even when the clause is removed. This is also known as non-restrictive clause
Rules –
There are Compound Relative Pronouns as well. They are:
- Whoever
- Whomever
- Whichever
- Whatever
- Uses of Relative Pronoun:
- Who reflects the subject of the verb
- Whom reflects the object of the verb
- Use That for things and class of people. It introduces restrictive / defining clause
- We use Which for things and it introduces non-restrictive clause
- What denotes things that are unknown / ‘the things which’.
- Whose refers to reflect possession or relationship
- We use a comma only for any non-restrictive clause and do not use comma for restrictive clause
- For Example:
- Ashish is the boy who loves to sing and play guitar in the group
- Anjali is the girl whom I asked for some help and she helped me
- The meeting that was called by the manages went on for three hours
- This bat, which I love, belonged to my best friend
