Question

Where do we use a relative pronoun? 1. in the beginning of a relative clause 2. in the end of a relative clause 3. in the beginning of a main clause 4. in the end of a main clause 5. in any place in the sentence

Answer 1

1 - in the beginning of a relative clause

Answer 2

Relative pronouns are used to introduce relative clauses, which are dependent clauses that provide additional information about a noun in the main clause. Relative pronouns are typically used in the beginning of a relative clause.

So, in your options:

1. in the beginning of a relative clause - This is correct.
2. in the end of a relative clause - This is not a common placement for relative pronouns.
3. in the beginning of a main clause - Relative pronouns are used to connect main clauses to relative clauses, but they are not typically used at the beginning of a main clause.
4. in the end of a main clause - Relative pronouns are not used at the end of a main clause.
5. in any place in the sentence - While relative pronouns are typically found at the beginning of relative clauses, their placement can vary in some cases for stylistic reasons, but this is less common.

So, the correct answer is option 1: in the beginning of a relative clause.
