Relative pronouns


We use relative pronouns in relative clauses.
We use relative clauses to give more information about something, without having to start a new sentence.
That man over there is called Bill Gates. He started Microsoft.
⟶ That man over there, who's called Bill Gates, started Microsoft.

Use Example
who for people What’s the name of the man who created the Internet?
which for things and animals The experiment which worked was the last one.
where for places This is the town where Albert Einstein was born
whose to show possession That’s the man whose sister discovered a new planet

Watch out!
We can use who for animals when we give them a personality.
✓ Our dog, who's called Benji, is eight years old.

When there is a relative pronoun, remember not to repeat the subject/object.
✘ What's the name of the man who it a created the World Wide Web?
✓ This is the experiment which I’m doing it at the moment.
