What are Relative Pronouns? What is its function? The Relative Pronouns are: “that, who, whom, which, whose e what”. They if refer a terms cited previously and owe be used ever for if introduce a subordinate oration to a main oration. When the relative pronouns are followed by verb, exert function subject And when are followed by substantive and pronoun, exert function object. The relative pronouns only can be omitted when exert the function object, never when exert function subject.

The use of who Who= que ou quem Who, Whom and That relative the person Who and Whom have the same meaning. Who is more formal That is more informal Examples: The woman who/that called you is my sister The man who/that came here yesterday is the boss

The use of which Which= que, o qual, os quais, a qual, as quais. Which and That relative the stuffs and animals And the that, is restricts to affair, being essential at the phrase. At the majority of times, the which add a second phrase not essential, but it can also be used in restrictive clauses. And which, that can be omitted, why it exert function object Examples: I’m girl which/that love animals. The brown guitar which/that he was playing belongs to me.

Pronoun That Also owe be used when: When there are two antecedents (person and thing or person and animal): I know the singers and the songs that she mentioned. After adjectives in the superlative, first and last: She is the sweetest woman that I have ever met. (superlative) The last time that I saw him was in May. The first thing that you have to do is call the police. After all, only, everything, none, some, any, in and its compounds: She ate something that we never saw

Whose and What The relative pronoun whose (cujo, cuja, cujos, cujas) establish a relation of possession and is used with any antecedent, and can be used for people, country and organizations, never for stuffs. This pronoun is ever followed by a substantive and never can be omitted. The cat whose owner is my sister was in the garden. The girl was looking for a cat whose leg was broken What (o que) can be used how relative pronoun and can exert function of subject or object. I don't know what happened yesterday What is this?

Relative Adverbs When the relative pronoun if refers the place, time and the reason, it will go come a relative adverb, and respectively the relative adverbs: where (onde), when (quando) and why (por que). Examples: The house where Mozart was born is now a museum I can’t remember a time when I was so happy The reason why I didn’t call you is I’ve lost your phone number

Conclusion The relative pronouns unite two orations, where the relative pronouns are who, which, that, whose, what and relative adverbs, and for refer the people use who and that, and for stuffs and animals use which and that. Whose has relation the possession, and only used for people, country and organizations. And the what can used how relative pronoun with function of subject and object. And use where, when and why that are relative adverbs.
