INTRODUTION
Pronouns for relative clauses: who, which, that and whose
This pronoun is used only to refer to people. It can act as the subject or the object of the
sentence.
The woman who works at my office is very efficient.
Mark's brother, who is 18, has just started University.
Which
Contrary to who, this pronoun only works for things and animals. It can also be the subject
or the object of the sentence.
The book which I read last week is very interesting.
The cat, which is very friendly, is called Tom.
That
This is a pronoun that can be applied both to refer to people and things. Therefore, you can
use it to replace both who and which if the context allows it.
The woman who works at my office is very efficient.
The book that I read last week is very interesting.
Whose
Lastly, we have the pronoun whose, which should not be confused with who since it acts as
a possessive. To better identify it, think that in Spanish it would be translated as whose,
whose, whose or whose:
Yesterday I met the girl whose sister is a supermodel.
I knew the guy whose bike you bought.
Whom
We do not want to forget to mention the relative pronoun whom. Although rarely used, it
can be very useful in formal contexts. In addition, it is ideal to demonstrate your command
of English.
The pronoun whom replaces people when they are not the subject of the sentence but are
the ones who receive it. Namely:
• To whom it may concern. – To whom it may concern/interested (a useful formula to start
a formal email).
• Whom does he love? – Who does he love?

GROWTH
Defining Relative Clause
We use ‘defining relative clauses’ when we want to give more information about the person
or thing we are talking about. Without that information, the sentence will be meaningless.
Remember ...
⮚ It contains essential information about the noun.
⮚ If we eliminate the subordinate clause, the sentence does not make sense.
⮚ We can replace the relative pronouns ‘which' and 'who' with 'that' .
⮚ The pronoun can be omitted if it refers to an object.
⮚ Relative clauses or relative clauses are those that act as subordinates to a main
clause, adding more information about a thing or a person that had already been
mentioned before.
Non-defining Relative Clause
We use non-defining relative clauses when we want to join two sentences into one.
Remember…
⮚ Contains additional information about the noun.
⮚ We use commas to separate the sentence.
⮚ If we remove the subordinate clause, the sentence still makes sense.
⮚ Can't use 'that'
⮚ The pronoun cannot be omitted.
