5. Pudiste distinguir el uso de who, which, that y where, bueno cada uno
se refiere a un objeto en particular, who se refiere a la persona de la
que estamos hablando, which se refiere al objeto, animal o situación
de la que se esta hablando y that puede sustituir indistintamente a
ambos who y which y además tenemos a where que se refiere a
lugares, los relative pronouns se utilizan cuando queremos agregar
extra información sobre ellos, es como cuando decimos en español:
Recuerdas a Mary? Si, Mary la chica que atiende la tienda / Ese es el
perro que mordió a Juanito la semana pasada / La escuela en la que
estudiábamos esta cruzando la calle.
Espero que haya quedado claro, de lo contrario ya sabes que cuentas
con el apoyo del profesor a cargo del grupo quien con gusto resolverá
tus dudas. Suerte !!
