What is an example of a relative sentence?
A relative pronoun is a word like “that” or “which” or “who”, so a relative clause is a clause that begins with a relative pronoun. In the sentence “The dragon who breathed blue fire has retired,” “who breathed blue fire” is a relative clause.
What are 3 examples of relative pronouns?
The most common are which, that, whose, whoever, whomever, who, and whom. In some situations, the words what, when, and where can also function as relative pronouns.
What are the 5 relative clauses?
We attach relative clauses to independent clauses using relative pronouns or relative adverbs. There are five relative pronouns—that, which, who, whom, and whose—and three relative adverbs—where, when, and why. Deciding when to use “that” and “which” can be puzzling. “That” refers to things and never refers to people.
