That is the time at which I go to bed. Why use relative pronouns and what to watch out for? It is new. He really likes it. The number of times that you ask me that everyday. Do you realise whose car that is? I think it belongs to Horace Pigson, the famous politician. Does duty free mean that the products are cheaper? It depends, at Valencia Airport the wine is more expensive than in the supermarket. Where did you have your photo taken?
There is a machine at the airport. Is that the series of which you have spoken so much about? Is that the car, the one that is on the right of the building? That is the one that I told you about. Are you the man who shouted at me from across the road. Sorry but is this your dog that is barking? That is improbable as I have not got a dog.
Have they recovered the paintings which were stolen? A relative pronoun is a pronoun that introduces a relative clause. The relative pronouns are: who, whom, whose, which, that.

The interrogative pronouns are: who, whom, which, whose, what. Relative clauses are used to give additional information about a noun, such as a person, place or thing. Relative pronouns introduce a relative clause. They include who for people, that and which for things, when for time, and whose to show possession.
Relative clauses belong to one of two categories: defining relative clauses and non-defining relative clauses. Defining relative clauses add essential information to a sentence. These clauses give essential information about the subject of the sentence.
They define the person , time or thing that we are talking about. If we remove the clause, the sentence does not make sense. Non-defining relative clauses add extra information to a noun or noun phrase. This extra information is not essential. If weremove the clause, the sentence still makes sense.. This type of clause is more common in written English.
Non-defining relative clauses are made in the same way. An important difference, however, between both types of clause is the use of punctuation. With non-defining relative clauses, we separate the clause with commas. We cannot use that in this type of clause. In informal communication, relative pronouns, such as who and when ,are commonly replaced with that in defining relative clauses.
