A relative pronoun is a type of pronoun that introduces a relative clause, providing more information about a noun mentioned in the main clause. The main relative pronouns in English are "who," "whom," "whose," "which," and "that." For example, in the sentence "The woman who lives next door is a doctor," the pronoun "who" introduces the relative clause "who lives next door," giving more details about "the woman." Similarly, in "I have a book that you might like," the pronoun "that" refers to "book" and introduces additional information. Relative pronouns help connect clauses and clarify relationships between nouns, making sentences more informative and complex.
