Unit 2, Lesson 8: Relative Pronouns Betrekkelijke voornaamwoorden

Relative pronouns Subject Object Possessive Who Who(m) Whose Which The Relative Pronouns are: We use who and whom for people, and which for things. Or we can use that for people or things. Subject Object Possessive Who Who(m) Whose Which That /

When to use it After a noun, to make it clear which person or thing we are talking about: The house that Jack built. The woman who discovered radium. An eight-year-old boy who attempted to rob a sweet shop. To tell us more about a person or thing: My mother, who was born overseas, has always been a great traveller. Lord Thompson, who is 76, has just retired. We had fish and chips, which is my favourite meal. But we do not use that as a subject in this kind of relative clause (after a comma). dat wie wie wie wie wat

When to use it We use whose as the possessive form of who: This is George, whose brother went to school with me. He is the artist, whose paintings sell for millions. She is the girl, whose shoe I found a week ago. wiens wiens wiens

When (not) to use it If the relative pronoun is followed by a verb, the relative pronoun is a subject pronoun. Subject pronouns must always be used. The apple which is lying on the table. If the relative pronoun is not followed by a verb (but by a noun or pronoun), the relative pronoun is an object pronoun. Object don’t have to be used. The apple (which) George lay on the table.
