Lesson 26
Parts of Speech - Pronouns
Relative pronouns join dependent clauses to independent clauses. They are
who, whose, whom, which, and that. For example, He found his
money that he had lost. That joins the two clauses together into one
sentence. Clauses will be taught in detail later.
Instructions: Find the relative pronouns in the sentences, and see how many other pronouns
you can find as a bonus.
