Key Points​​

• ​The pronouns that connect a clause or phrase to a noun or a pronoun, is called a relative pronoun.
• The most common relative pronouns are:
  • who, whom, whose, which.
• Example:
  • We don’t know the person who donated this money.
  • You need to tick the box which says yes.​
• ​We use 'who' in relative clauses to refer to people, and sometimes to pet animals. (refer to the above example)
• Thus the given word 'who' is a relative pronoun.​

Mistake PointsDemonstrative pronouns single out a person or thing. It is a pronoun that represents a noun and expresses its position as near or far (including in time). The demonstrative pronouns are "this," "that," "these," and "those."

Eg. That boy is very talkative.
