Tips on the use of relative pronouns

Tips on the use of relative pronouns

The relative pronouns refer to a previous term, ie, its antecedent.

Note:

Example: I drank the coffee that I prepared myself.

. What the above sentence functions as the relative pronoun, the antecedent to which it relates is coffee.

The relative pronouns are divided into variable and invariable. See,

Variables: who, what, when, how, where;

Invariant, which, which, which, whom, whose, whose, which,

How, how, how.

a) THAT-relative pronoun is the most widely used. It is used in relation to the person or thing.

Exs. Here is the friend I told you about.

Here is the book you'll read on vacation.

b) WHICH, WHO, WHICH, WHICH, are only relative pronouns.

Example: Work in a company which has a branch in Natal.

c) AND WHOSE pushups-equivalent to that from which, quem.Estabelecem relationship of possession between the antecedent and the term specify that.

Ex: The man whose words can not be trusted.

d) WHO-refers to the person or thing personified.

Example: This poet, who speaks both the people, is Augusto dos Anjos.

e) Where, when the relative pronoun is equivalent to that;

indicates circumstance of place.

Ex: I speak of the school where my son studies.

f) How many, many, MANY-are relative pronouns

when used after pron. undefined all, all,

all.

g) WHEN AND HOW-express notions of time and way.

Exs.: This is a time when the sky is brighter.

I do not accept the way you were treated.
