Relative pronouns are words like who, whom, which, that<\/strong> and whose.<\/strong>
\nThey are not conjunctions, but they can be used to combine two clauses. A relative pronoun serves as the subject or object of the verb in the relative clause.<\/p>\n

Study the example given below.<\/p>\n

This is Meera. She works with me.<\/p>\n

We can combine these two sentences using the relative pronoun who.<\/p>\n

This is Meera who<\/strong> works with me.<\/p>\n

Here the relative pronoun \u2018who\u2019 replaces the pronoun \u2018she\u2019 and acts as the subject of the verb \u2018works\u2019.<\/p>\n

Relative clauses<\/strong> are also called adjective clauses<\/strong>. They are used to modify a noun or pronoun in another clause. The relative clauses go immediately after the noun or pronoun they modify.<\/p>\n

Combine the following sentences using relative pronouns.<\/strong><\/p>\n

1. I congratulated Aditi. She won the first prize.<\/p>\n

2. Julius Ceasar arrived in Britain in 55 BC. He was a powerful Roman General.<\/p>\n

3. My brother is an engineer. He lives in Mumbai.<\/p>\n

4. The boy was injured in the accident. He is my brother.<\/p>\n

5. The man is very friendly. He lives next door.<\/p>\n

6. The cuckoo is too lazy to hatch its eggs. It lays its eggs in the crow\u2019s nest.<\/p>\n

7. My uncle works in Kolkata. He has sent me a laptop.<\/p>\n
