A relative pronoun

1. is a pronoun and therefore can be used anywhere a noun can be used.

2. must have an antecedent, a word before the pronoun that the pronoun refers to.

3. takes its number (sing./pl.) and gender (m./f./n.) from its antecedent.

4. takes its case (nom./gen./dat./acc./abl./voc.) from its use in its own clause.

5. When cum (with) is used with the ablative forms, it is attached to the end of the relative pronoun.

(Ex. quocum, quācum, quibuscum)

1. We see the slaves whom the consul brought. ___________________________

C. Interrogative Pronoun:

The interrogative pronoun (quis, quid) has the same singular forms for masculine, feminine, and neuter (except that the neuter is different in the nominative and accusative). In the plural, it is exactly the same as the plural forms of the relative pronoun (qui, quae, quod). The interrogative pronoun is used to introduce a question.
