(Cf. Wheelock 17)
REMEMBER: The CASE (of the relative pronouns like who, which, that) comes only from the (dependent) CLAUSE in which it stands.
In the sentences below, study how the antecedents (the words to which the relative pronouns refer) can differ in CASE from the relative pronouns themselves. There must still be agreement in GENDER and NUMBER between the two. Thus, each relative pronoun below is MASCULINE and SINGULAR, in agreement with the gender and number of the masculine singular antecedent puer (or this word's other singular case-forms).

Antecedents are green, relative pronouns red. Click on Anglice or Latine for a translation into the other language
