Preface

Relative pronoun adalah kata ganti yang digunakan untuk memperkenalkan relative clause, klausa yang fungsinya memberi informasi lebih akan suatu kata atau frasa benda.

Suatu relative pronoun merujuk pada sebuah kata atau frasa benda yang disebut antecedent.

Contoh:

The man who is wearing glasses is a surgeon.

Who merujuk pada antecedent the man.

Relative pronoun dalam tata bahasa Inggris ada lima (5), yaitu:

• who ➠ menggantikan subjek orang
• whom ➠ menggantikan objek orang
• which ➠ menggantikan subjek/objek bukan orang dan relative clause-nya nondefining/nonrestrictive
• that ➠ menggantikan subjek/objek bukan orang dan relative clause-nya defining/restrictive
• Whose ➠ menggantikan possessive

The boy plays basketball well. He is very tall.

☆ The boy who is very tall plays basketball well.

The old lady is my neighbour. I often say hello to her.

☆ The old lady to whom I often say hello is my neighbour.
