Grammatical Rules (Reglas gramaticales)


El pronombre relativo se encuentra en lugar de un sustantivo. Este sustantivo suele
aparecer anteriormente en la oración.

That: Es el pronombre relativo más utilizado en el inglés hablado, ya que se puede


utilizar tanto con personas como con cosas. Se utiliza para sustituir “which”, “who” o
“whom” en cláusulas que definen el sustantivo.

Ejemplos:

This is the book that won the Pulitzer prize last year. (Este es el libro que ganó el
Permio Pulizer el año pasado.)
This is the restaurant that received the excellent reviews in the newspaper. (Este es el
restaurante que recibió excelentes críticas en el periódico.)

Which: Sólo se puede utilizar con las cosas.

Ejemplos:

My new job, which I only started last week, is already very stressful. (Mi nuevo
trabajo, que acabo de empezar la semana pasada, ya es muy estresante.)
The house which we lived in when we were children burnt down last week. (La casa
en la que vivíamos cuando éramos niños se quemó la semana pasada.)

Who: Solo se puede utilizar “who” con personas.

Ejemplos:

My sister, who just moved in with me, is looking for a job. (Mi hermana, que se
acaba de mudar conmigo, está buscando trabajo.)

Inglés II Mg. Nancy León P.


I never met someone who didn’t like music. (Nunca he conocido a alguien que no le
guste la música.)

Whom: Se utiliza para hacer referencia al objeto indirecto del verbo, pero no lo
utilizamos mucho en inglés coloquial. Más a menudo utilizamos “who” en vez de
“whom”.

Ejemplos:

The woman with whom I was talking to was my cousin. (La mujer con quién estaba
hablando era mi prima.)
This is Peter, whom I met at the party last week. (Este es Peter, a quien conocí en la
fiesta la semana pasada.)

Whose: Indica posesión, tanto para las personas como para las cosas.

Ejemplos:

That is the girl whose parents got divorced last year. (Esa es la chica cuyos padres se
divorciaron el año pasado.)
Paul, whose wife just had a baby, will not be at work for a few weeks. (Paul, cuyo
esposa acaba de tener un bebé, no irá a trabajar durante unas semanas.)
