# Relative Pronoun
Relative pronouns introduce adjective clauses and noun clauses. Both of these kinds of clauses are statements within a sentence. Adjective clauses are like adjectives because they describe a person or thing. Noun clauses are like nouns because they refer to a person, thing, or idea. In Greek, every adjective clause and every noun clause has a relative pronoun.
When the relative pronoun introduces an adjective clause, that pronoun is often translated as who, whom, that, which, or whose.
When the relative pronoun introduces an adjective clause, that pronoun is often translated as **_who_**, **_whom_**, **_that,_** **_which_**, or **_whose_**.
When the relative pronoun introduces a noun clause, that pronoun is often translated as whoever, whomever, or whatever.
When the relative pronoun introduces a noun clause, that pronoun is often translated as **_whoever, **_whomever_**, or **_whatever_**.
### More Information about this topic
A relative pronoun often refers to a noun that the writer or speaker has already used. When this happens, it will have the same number and gender as the noun it describes. The case of the relative pronoun helps someone to know the function of the relative clause in the sentence.
* The relative pronoun that connects the qualifying clause is called the antecedent.
* In determining case, the antecedent and the relative pronoun interact with each other. This interaction is called attraction.
* When the relative pronoun is attracted to the case of the antecedent, it is called direct attraction.
* When the antecedent is attracted to the case of the relative pronoun, it is called: indirect attraction.
* When the antecedent is made clear by context, it can be omitted.
