The Function of Relative Pronouns

The function of a relative pronoun is to head (or introduce) an adjective clause. An adjective clause follows a noun:

(1) To identify it.

For example:

The man who won the lottery is outside.

(The adjective clause (highlighted) identifies the man.)

(2) To tell us something interesting about it.

For example:

Inspector Smith, who won the lottery, is outside.

(The adjective clause (highlighted) tells us something interesting about Inspector Smith.)
