Step-by-step solution for: Relative Pronouns | Pronoun Worksheets
Looking at the worksheet, I need to identify the relative clause in each of the 25 sentences and then circle the relative pronoun that introduces it.
First, let me understand what a relative clause is:
- A relative clause gives more information about a word (usually a noun) in the main sentence
- It starts with a relative pronoun: who, whom, whose, that, or which
- The relative pronoun connects the extra information to the main sentence
Now I'll go through each sentence one by one:
1. "The book that I got from the library is due tomorrow."
- Relative clause: "that I got from the library" (tells us which book)
- Relative pronoun: that
2. "My father, whom I respect, congratulated me on a job well done."
- Relative clause: "whom I respect" (tells us about my father)
- Relative pronoun: whom
3. "I am always frustrated by people who talk while watching a movie."
