​What do relative clauses do?

​Relative clauses describe the antecedent.

Relative clauses start with the relative pronoun (including any preposition governing the relative pronoun).

​They usually end with the first verb following the relative pronoun.

​

​Cornelius quem Anna interfecit Liviae gemmas donaverat.

​The clause is quem Anna interfecit.

​Examples

​Cornelius quem Anna interfecit Liviae gemmas donaverat.

​

​The relative pronoun is quem - masc sing because its antecedent is Cornelius (masc singular).

​

​How do relative pronouns agree?

​The relative pronoun matches its antecedent in GENDER and NUMBER

​

​NOT in CASE

​

​Case is determined by the use in the clause

​

​

​Examples

​Cornelius quem Anna interfecit Liviae gemmas donaverat.

​

​The relative pronoun is quem - masc sing because its antecedent is Cornelius (masc singular).

​

​The clause is quem Anna interfecit.

​The case of quem is accusative because it is the direct object of the clause.

​

​The sentence is translated Cornelius whom Anna killed had given the gems to LIvia.

​

​

​two relative clauses -

​1st - in quo Evander regnaverat - the antecedent is Pallentium

​quo is ablative (place where-use) singular & neuter - antecedent

​2nd - quam Romulus et Remus condiderunt - Roma is the antecedent

​ quam is accusative (direct object -use) singular & feminine - antecedent
