LESSON 9: RELATIVE AND REFLEXIVE PRONOUNS

Relative pronouns are used to introduce relative clauses. A relative clause is a subordinate clause
that functions as an adjective in a sentence.
The most common relative pronouns are who, whom, whose, which, and that.
A relative pronoun replaces a noun or pronoun, which is its antecedent, in a main clause.
EXAMPLES: The tree that died was chopped down yesterday.
                    My mother who hates garlic, makes great spaghetti sauce.

EXERCISES:

Underline each relative pronoun and circle its antecedent.

1. The hockey equipment in the gym, which includes new sticks and protective padding, stinks!

2. A woman on the TV who claims to have psychic powers told them where the thieves were.

3. The influenza epidemic of 1918, which swept through Europe and North America just as troops were
returning from WWI, claimed more lives than the war itself did.
