Relative Pronouns GRAMMAR EXERCISE #9:

that, which, who, whom, whose A relative pronoun can introduce a subordinate clause. A subordinate clause is a dependent clause. It cannot stand alone as a sentence because of its first word. Relative Pronouns:

that, which, who, whom, whose Who, whom, and whose refer to humans. That and which refer to non- humans (animals and things). Relative Pronouns:

Examples Thomas Jefferson, who wrote the Declaration of Independence, was our third president. Thomas Jefferson, whose home is called Monticello, was our third president. Thomas Jefferson, for whom my high school is named, was our third president. The university that Linda attended has expensive tuition. The University of Tampa, which Linda attended, has expensive tuition.

Who vs. Whom Who vs. Whom “Who” (like “he”) is always a subject; use this form if the pronoun performs an action. “Whom” (like “him”) is always an object; use this form if the pronoun does not perform an action.

HELPFUL HINT: When the next major word is a verb, use “who.” When the next major word is a noun or pronoun, use “ whom.” The person (who, whom) spoke was boring. The person (who, whom) I met was boring.

“That” usually does not require commas because a “that” phrase is necessary to the sentence: The cat that I feed every day is a gray tabby with white paws. That vs. Which

“Which” usually does require commas because a “which” phrase can be removed from the sentence: My cat, which I feed every day, is a gray tabby with white paws. That vs. Which

HELPFUL HINT: To decide between “that” and “which” on a multiple-choice test, look for commas. “Which” gets commas; “that” does not. In this way, relative pronouns are NOT like subordinating conjunctions.

Who, whom, that, and which Ask yourself two questions: 1. Human or non-human ? 2. What is the next word? commas 2. Does the phrase have commas? verb  who noun or pronoun  whom no no  that yes yes  which
