OpenStudy (mysticfury):

A relative pronoun is a type of pronoun that often introduces dependent (or relative) clauses in sentences. They also can stand alone as the subject or object of a sentence. There is a specific list of relative pronouns, and here they are: who, whoever, whom, whomever, that, which, when, where, and whose.
