Explication

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

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

Contoh:

The man who is speaking is the CEO.

Who merujuk pada antecedent the man.

Relative pronoun dalam bahasa Inggris adalah:

• who ➠ jika antecedent yang dirujuk merupakan subjek orang
• whom ➠ jika antecedent yang dirujuk merupakan objek orang
• which ➠ jika antecedent yang dirujuk merupakan bukan orang dan relative clause-nya non-defining/non-restrictive
• that ➠ jika antecedent yang dirujuk merupakan bukan orang dan relative clause-nya defining/restrictive
• Whose ➠ jika antecedent berupa possessive

Contoh penggunaan relative pronoun:

The girl is very pretty. She sits next to me.

☆ The girl who sits next to me is very pretty.

The girl is very pretty. I like her.

☆ The girl whom I like is very pretty.

That car belongs to Alex. It is made in Germany.

☆ That car, which is made in Germany, belongs to Alex.

The car belongs to Alex. It is made in Germany.

☆ The car that is made in Germany belongs to Alex.

The boy is very smart. His parents are doctors.

☆ The boy whose parents are doctors is very smart.

Note 1

When, where dan why bukan merupakan relative pronoun melainkan relative adverb.

Note 2

Relative clause pada soal di atas adalah nonrestrictive. Sebenarnya lebih tepat menggunakan relative pronoun that daripada which.
