Relative Pronouns Example

Relative pronouns are a class of pronouns that serve to introduce a subordinate clausewhat is related with a antecedent explicit or implicit. The relative sentence, that introduced by a relative pronoun, refers to or speaks of an antecedent; introduces information that explains or determines the antecedent.

Relative pronouns in Spanish They are what, which, how muchY who. In addition to these pronouns there are also other words that act as relative, such as the adjective whose or the adverbs where how Y when.

Relatives, be they pronouns or other words, serve as a link between the main clause and the subordinate clause. As already mentioned, there is a explicit or implicit antecedent to which the pronoun is linked, which introduces a sentence that refers to said antecedent.

Let's see an example explained:

• The home (antecedent) what (relative pronoun) you bought this year (subordinate clause) is great.

In this example, the relative pronoun what introduce the subordinate clause you bought this year.

The pronoun refers to an antecedent that in this case is explicit since it appears within the sentence; the antecedent is the noun home. The subordinate clause of relative determines which house is being talked about in the sentence.

• We ate how much (antecedent) we could (subordinate clause).

In this example, the relative pronoun how much introduce the subordinate clause we could. In this case there is no explicit antecedent; that which is referred to by what is not found explicitly in the sentence.
