1. Relative Pronouns:
These are words like *who, whom, whose, which, that* which connect a dependent clause to a main clause. They introduce information that modifies a noun or pronoun in the main clause. For example:
* "The book that I bought is on the table." (The relative pronoun *that* modifies the noun *book*).
* "The woman who lives next door is a doctor." (The relative pronoun *who* modifies the noun *woman*).
2. Words Describing Relative Positions or Comparisons:
These words describe the position of something in relation to another thing, or compare two things. Examples include:
* Spatial Relations: *above, below, beside, near, far, left, right*
* Temporal Relations: *before, after, during, since, until*
* Comparison: *more, less, better, worse, similar, different*
3. Words Implying Relativity:
Some words have a relative meaning, meaning their interpretation depends on the context. For example:
* Large: Something can be considered large in relation to another thing. A house might be large compared to a dog, but small compared to a skyscraper.
* Fast: A car can be fast compared to a bicycle, but slow compared to a plane.
4. Words With a Relative Pronunciation:
Some words have a pronunciation that depends on the surrounding words. For example, the word "the" can be pronounced differently depending on whether it's followed by a consonant or vowel.
