# Relative Pronoun
A relative pronoun introduces a relative clause. The relative clause is a statement that is part of a sentence. This statement can function as an adjective or a noun. In Greek, every relative clause has a relative pronoun.
A relative pronoun is often translated as who, whom, that, which, or whose when the relative clause it introduces functions as an adjective.
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.
A relative pronoun is often translated as whoever, whomever, or whatever when the relative clause it introduces functions as a noun.
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.
