> relative pronoun A pronoun that introduces a RELATIVE CLAUSE. The relative pronouns are "who", "whom", "whose", "which" and "that". Examples of relative clauses introduced by relative pronouns include "There is the man who stole the money", "She is the person to whom I gave the money", "This is the man whose wife won the prize", "They criticized the work which he had done" and "That's the house that I would like to buy". Relative pronouns refer back to a NOUN or NOUN PHRASE in the MAIN CLAUSE. These nouns and noun phrases are known as ANTECEDENTS. The antecedents in the example sentences are respectively "man", "person", "man", "work" and "house".• Sometimes the relative clause divides the parts of the main clause, as in "The woman whose daughter is ill is very upset", "The people whom we met on holiday were French" and "The house that we liked best was too expensive".
