Relative Pronouns
Grade 4 · English Language Arts · Grammar and Language · New Brunswick, Canada
Lesson Summary
Relative pronouns like 'who,' 'which,' and 'that' connect extra information to a noun in a sentence.
Explanation
A relative pronoun introduces a clause that gives more detail about a noun. Use 'who' for people: 'The girl who won the race is my friend.' Use 'which' for things or animals: 'The book, which was on the shelf, fell down.' Use 'that' for people or things when the information is essential to the meaning: 'The dog that barked is mine.'
