Hi,
I again come back for your teaching learning english language. Let's go
Read the following pairs of sentences :
1. I met
Hari. Hari had just returned.
2. I have
found the pen. I lost the pen.
3. Here is
the book. You lent me the book.
Let us examine the work done by each of the words who, who,
which , that. The word is used instead of the noun Hari. It ,therefore,does the
of a pronoun. The word who joins or connects two statements. It, therefore,
does the work of a conjunction.
The word who, therefore, does double work—the work of a
pronoun and also the work of a conjunction. We might, therefore, call it a
Conjunctive Pronoun. It is, however, called a Relative Pronoun because it
refers or relates ( i.e. , carries us
back ) to some noun going before ( here, the noun Hari ) which is called its
antecedent.
Let the pupil show why which and that are also Relative
Pronoun in the second and third sentences.
What is the Antecedent of which in the second sentence ?
What is the Antecedent of that in the third sentence?
Finally I say, everyone follow the rules and practice this rule everyday for learning english language
