PRONOMES RELATIVOS - RELATIVE PRONOUNS

Os pronomes relativos podem exercer a funo de sujeito ou objeto do verbo principal. Lembre-se de que
quando o pronome relativo for seguido por um verbo, ele exrce funo de sujeito. Caso o pronome relativo
for seguido por um substantivo ou pronome, ele exerce funo de objeto.
- Quando o antecedente for pessoa e o pronome relativo exercer a funo de sujeito do verbo, usa-
se who outhat.

- Quando o antecedente for pessoa e o pronome relativo exercer a funo de objeto do verbo, usa-
se who,whom, that ou pode-se omitir (-) o pronome relativo. Contudo, essa omisso s pode ocorrer
quando o relativo exercer funo de objeto. Lembre-se de que na linguagem informal pode-se
empregar who em vez dewhom.

(A menina que vi na praia era bonita.)

- Quando o antecedente for coisa ou animal e o pronome relativo exercer a funo de sujeito do verbo,

pronome relativo seja seguido por um substantivo, artigo, pronome ou outra classe de palavra, ele
exerce funo de objeto.
