1 Relative pronouns Relative pronouns are used to connect relative clauses (also known as adjective clauses) to main clause in a sentence. relative clauses either help clarify the antecedent with essential information/in which case they are known as restrictive clauses or else give extra man-essential information about it/in which case they are known as man- restrictive clauses.
in a relative clauses, the relative pronoun functions in one of three ways: as the subject of the clauses, as the object of the clause's verb, or as a possessive determiner. for example:
"there's the woman who always sits next to me in the bus"( restrictive Claus; who functions as the subject). "the book that I wrote is being published in January"( restrictive clauses: that functions as the object of wrote). "the escaped giraffe, which had been on the base for weeks, was finally captured"( man-restrictive: which functions as the subject). "the person whose name can't be revealed appeared in court today"( man- restrictive clause: whose functions as a possessive determiner, modifying name).
Interrogative Pronouns Are used to ask questions, functioning either as the subject or object of such sentences. There are five primary interrogative pronouns: who, whom, whose, which, and what. who is coming to the party tonight? ( subject) " so which will it be : S10,000, or a new sport car?(object) " could you tell me whose these are?" (subject) " Do you know what we're doing here?"( object)
2 Reciprocal Pronouns We use reciprocal pronouns when two or more people both act as the subject of a verb, and both (or all) individually and equally receive the verb's action. they can be the object of either the verb itself or a preposition used to complete the verb's meaning. Examples The man who lives here is an engineer. The girl about whom you are talking is my roommate. Hi is a writer whose work I admire.
