- put in commas
- in non-defining relaive clauses, who and which may not be replaced with that.
• Relaive Pronouns
who (people)
which (animals/things)
which (sentence)
whose (possession)
that (people/animals/things in defining relaive clause
•Object pronoun or subject pronoun?
- if the pronoun is followed by a verb it’s a Subject Pronoun
Ex: The apple which is lying on the table
