Meaning and form

Relative pronouns connect a noun with identifying information: who for people, which for things, whose for possession. In a defining clause, that can often replace who/which. The pronoun can be omitted only when it is the object, not when it is the subject: the guide (who) we met; the guide who helped us.

From rule to accurate use

Start with the intended meaning, then identify the subject and verb pattern.

Worked example 1: The guide ___ helped us lives here.

Answer and reasoning: who Who refers to a person and is the subject.

Worked example 2: This is the map {{1}} shows the route. (which/whose)

Answer and reasoning: This is the map which shows the route. (which/whose) Which refers to the thing map.

Apply the rule to a new sentence rather than memorising only the answer.
