A relative pronoun (who, whom, whose, which, that)relates a relative clause to the antecedent.
"In the sentence below, identify the pronoun and its antecedent?"In this sentence the pronoun is its.The antecedent for the possessive adjective its is the noun pronoun.
A relative pronoun introduces a subordinate clause, called a relative clause. A relative clause 'relates' information about it's antecedent.The relative pronouns are: who, whom, whose, which, that.Examples:The actor who played Hamlet was excellent.The man whose car I hit was very nice about it.The shoes that I bought were very expensive.The customer for whom I made that cake will pick it up at four.I found the book which is out of print at the book fair.
To find a pronoun's antecedent, look for the noun that the pronoun is referring to in the sentence. The antecedent will typically precede the pronoun and the pronoun will be used to replace or refer back to the antecedent in the sentence.
A relative pronoun introduces a subordinate clause that gives information about the antecedent. The subordinate clause is called a relative clause because it provides information that 'relates' to the antecedent.The relative pronouns are: who, whom, whose, which, that.Example: The man who lives next door gave me flowers from his garden.
The antecedent does, most often, come before a relative pronoun in a sentence, but it is not incorrect for the relative pronoun to occasionally come before its antecedent.Example:John knows what he wants.What he wants, John will have to tell you.
Antecedents are used in connection with relative pronouns; the pronoun usually opens the relative clause, but the antecedent is located in the main clause.
