About Relative Pronouns
What this skill is
A relative pronoun introduces a dependent relative clause and connects it to an antecedent noun. Words like who, whom, and whose refer to people, while which and that refer to animals, objects, and concepts, allowing writers to create smooth, complex sentences.
When children learn it
Relative pronouns are a target language standard in 4th grade (CCSS L.4.1.a) and reinforced in 5th grade as students craft varied sentences and edit for clarity in essays and informational writing.
Teaching Tips
- Practice sentence combining out loud: give your child two short sentences ("I met a doctor. She helped my aunt.") and ask them to glue them together using "who". On worksheets, have them draw an arrow from "who" or "which" back to the noun it describes.
Common Mistakes
- Using "that" or "which" to refer to people instead of using "who" (such as "the girl that won the race").
- Confusing the subject pronoun "who" with the object pronoun "whom" in formal sentences.
- Confusing the possessive relative pronoun "whose" with the contraction "who's" (who is).
