Pronombres relativos - una introducción

who, which, that

Las oraciones de relativo nos dicen de qué persona o cosa se está hablando, o nos dan más información sobre esa persona o cosa.

Se usa "who", "which" y "that" como pronombres relativos para:

• sustituir el sujeto o el objeto
• introducir una cláusula relativa
• conectar cláusulas independientes en una sola frase.

Ejemplo

1. The man is an English teacher. He lives in London.
    
2. 

En el segundo ejemplo, "who" introduce la cláusula relativa. La cláusula relativa debe tener un sujeto" por lo que "so" sustituye a "He" porque no se puede repetir "He" ó "The man"
