Relative Pronouns

The man   is my father.  The man came.     

^                                                         

               who came                                                        

A relative pronoun agrees with its antecedent in gender and number but takes its case from the job it does in its own clause.

“who came” is a relative clause. It starts with a relative pronoun. It is a clause because it has its own subject (who) and predicate (verb: came). The whole relative clause modifies or describes the noun “man.” The relative pronoun is masculine singular because its antecedent is “man.”

In the following sentences, spot the main clause, relative clause, relative pronoun, function of the relative pronoun (case it will be in Greek) and its antecedent (the noun/pronoun it represents):

1. The students who came first got prizes.

2. Peter is the man whom we saw.

3. We know the Lord whom we saw in the temple.

4. Where are those who volunteered?

5. The students whose books were stolen reported the theft.

6. These are the words that I spoke.

7. This is the life in which he is involved.

8. Then he read the words, which were in the book.

9. The girls to whom the books were given were delighted.

10. The children that came got gifts.

If you can’t see an antecedent in a Greek sentence for the relative pronoun, supply a generic one based on the gender and number of the relative pronoun.

1. o#j e0stin o9 a0delfo\j mou

2. o$ e0pi/steu/sate, poiei=te.

3. a$ e0pi/steusaj, poiei=.
