Step-by-step solution for: Relative Pronouns Worksheets for Grade 4 - Your Home Teacher
Let's solve the problem step by step, explaining the correct choice for each sentence.
Sentence: I'm looking at the album ______ we took together.
- Options: (a) which, (b) who, (c) whom
#### Explanation:
- The relative pronoun should refer to "the album," which is an inanimate object.
- "Which" is used to refer to objects or animals.
- "Who" and "whom" are used to refer to people.
Thus, the correct answer is:
- (a) which
Sentence: They have a very large garden ______ there is a lovely fountain.
- Options: (a) that, (b) which, (c) whose
#### Explanation:
- The relative pronoun should refer to "garden," which is an inanimate object.
- Both "that" and "which" can be used to refer to objects, but "whose" is used to show possession and does not fit here.
- In this case, "that" is more commonly used in restrictive clauses, while "which" is often used in non-restrictive clauses. However, both are acceptable in this context.
Thus, the correct answer is:
- (a) that (or (b) which, depending on the preference for style)
Sentence: I don't understand a word ______ you are talking about.
- Options: (a) what, (b) that, (c) who
#### Explanation:
- The relative pronoun should refer to "a word," which is an inanimate object.
- "What" is not a relative pronoun; it is an interrogative pronoun and cannot be used in this context.
- "Who" is used to refer to people, so it is incorrect.
- "That" is the correct relative pronoun to use here.
Thus, the correct answer is:
- (b) that
Sentence: The person I know, knows someone ______ met the President.
- Options: (a) who, (b) whom, (c) which
#### Explanation:
- The relative pronoun should refer to "someone," which is a person.
- "Who" is used to refer to people when they are the subject of the verb.
- "Whom" is used to refer to people when they are the object of the verb.
- "Which" is used to refer to objects or animals, not people.
In this sentence, "met" is the verb, and the pronoun is the subject of the verb. Therefore, "who" is the correct choice.
Thus, the correct answer is:
- (a) who
Sentence: The teacher wants to find out ______ broke the window glass.
- Options: (a) who, (b) who's, (c) whose
#### Explanation:
- The relative pronoun should refer to the person who broke the window glass.
- "Who" is used to refer to people when they are the subject of the verb.
- "Who's" is a contraction of "who is" or "who has," which does not fit the context here.
- "Whose" is used to show possession and does not fit the context.
Thus, the correct answer is:
- (a) who
1. (a) which
2. (a) that (or (b) which)
3. (b) that
4. (a) who
5. (a) who
