More Information
Relative pronouns introduce relative clauses, connecting them to the nouns or pronouns they modify. Choosing the correct pronoun (who, which, where, whose) ensures clarity and grammatical accuracy. Omitting relative pronouns is possible in certain sentence structures, enhancing conciseness.
Tips
A common mistake is using 'that' instead of 'who' for people, or interchanging 'which' and 'where' incorrectly. Always consider whether the pronoun refers to a person, place, thing, or possession to select the correct one. Also, remember that you can only omit relative pronouns when they are not the subject of the relative clause.
