• What are Relative Pronouns?• That, which, and who are relative pronouns. A

relative pronoun introduces a group of words called a relative clause. A relative clause provides additional information about a noun in a sentence.

• That and which introduce different kinds of relative clauses. Who is used when the clause refers to a person or people.

EXAMPLES

• The girl who was dancing at the party is my sister. La chica que estaba bailando en la fiesta es mi hermana.

• Do you know the person who sold me the car?¿Conoces a la persona que me vendió el coche?

• The soldiers who fought in that battle were very young.Los soldados que pelearon en esa batalla eran muy jóvenes.

• He was a scientist who made great discoveries. El fue un científico que hizo grandes descubrimientos.

When to use that?

• When to Use That• Use that to introduce a group of words that give very

important information about a noun.• When that follows a noun, it introduces information that’s

essential, or necessary, to the meaning of the noun and the sentence. This essential group of words is called a restrictive clause or an essential clause. A restrictive clause helps explain or define the meaning of the noun it follows. If the restrictive clause is removed from the sentence, the noun will be left incomplete and the sentence will lose meaning.
