Now, let's move to the relative pronouns
Relative pronouns zijn 'betrekkelijke voornaamwoorden'. Ze verwijzen naar personen of dingen die al eerder in een zin genoemd zijn. Bijvoorbeeld: De man die naar de bakker ging. Dan verwijst het woord die naar de eerder genoemde 'man'.
Voorbeelden van relative pronouns: who(m), which, that, whose, where, when.

Who, whose and whom
Who gebruik je bij personen: Who is that?
Whose gebruik je bij personen en geeft bezit aan: Whose television is that? Whose brother passed his exam?
Whom gebruik je bij personen als het geen onderwerp is in de zin, je mag de -m dan ook weglaten. Alleen na een voorzetsel is de -m van whom verplicht:
Who(m) did you go out with? With whom did you go out? (want with is dan voorzetsel)
What and which
What gebruik je bij een keuze uit een groot of onbeperkt aantal: What countries would you like to visit? What shows on Netflix do you recommend?
Which gebruik je bij een keuze uit een beperkt aantal: Which do you prefer, soaps or documentaries? Which Dutch cheese do you like the most?
