Unit 4 Week 5 Introducing Relative and Interrogative Pronouns
Relative and Interrogative Pronouns
DAY 1 A relative pronoun links a clause to another noun or pronoun. The girls performed a song that they had chosen. An interrogative pronoun asks a question when a noun in the sentence is not known. What happened yesterday? Who, whom, whose, and which can be used as either relative or interrogative pronouns. That is a relative pronoun, and what is an interrogative pronoun. Whose is used only to show possession.
Demonstrative and Indefinite Pronouns
DAY 2 Demonstrative pronouns tell whether a noun is here or there. Those are the books we will use. This is the shirt I was looking for. This and that are singular, and these and those are plural. Indefinite pronouns do not refer to a specific person, place, or thing. Anyone can join our group. Everything must be moved. Indefinite pronouns include everyone, both, few, no one, many.
Mechanics and Usage: Who/Whom; Pronoun/Verb Agreement
DAY 2 Use who as a subject. Karla is the singer who performed. Who is the subject of the verb performed. Use whom as an object. Karla is the singer whom we liked best. Whom is the object of liked. Use singular indefinite pronouns with singular verbs. Someone has borrowed my book. Use plural indefinite pronouns with plural verbs. Several have been counted. Some, any, none, all and most can be singular or plural.
