relative pronouns
Who, which, that
Relative pronouns are words like *who*, *whom*, *whose*, *which*, and *that* used to introduce clauses providing additional information about a noun: The woman who called left a message; The book that I borrowed was overdue.
They connect the clause to its antecedent while also serving a grammatical function within that clause—as subject, object, or possessive.
