Question

What is the relative pronoun in the following sentence?: The guy who owns the car that will not start is very frustrated.

Answer 1

There are two relative pronouns in the sentence: who and that,

Explanation:

A relative pronoun is used to introduce a relative clause.
A relative clause is a group of words with a subject and a verb that gives information that 'relates' to its antecedent.
The relative pronouns are: who, whom, whose, which, that.

In that sentence the relative pronoun 'who' is the subject of the relative clause 'who owns the car', relating to the subject noun 'guy'.

The relative pronoun 'that' is the subject of the relative clause 'that will not start', relating to the noun 'car'.
