They act as connectors among the parts of a sentence, prevent repetition and making sentences sound smoother.<\/p>\n<ul data-start=\"445\" data-end=\"695\">\n<li data-start=\"566\" data-end=\"695\">\n<p data-start=\"568\" data-end=\"695\"><strong data-start=\"568\" data-end=\"587\">Example in German: <\/strong>Das ist die Frau. Sie unterrichtet Deutsch. \u2192 Das ist die Frau, <strong data-start=\"663\" data-end=\"670\">die<\/strong> Deutsch unterrichtet.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li><strong data-start=\"447\" data-end=\"467\">English Example: <\/strong>This is the woman.

However in German, the relative pronouns want to fit their gender(as masculine, femanine, neuter), wide variety(like singular, plural), and the case ( like nominative, accusative, dative, genitive). This makes the German relative segments more accurate, however it&#8217;s also a bit difficult for new students.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1243\" data-end=\"1257\">For example:<\/p>\n<ul data-start=\"1259\" data-end=\"1469\">\n<li data-start=\"1259\" data-end=\"1366\">\n<p data-start=\"1261\" data-end=\"1366\"><strong data-start=\"1261\" data-end=\"1307\">Der Mann, der dort steht, ist mein Lehrer. <\/strong>(The man <strong data-start=\"1322\" data-end=\"1329\">who<\/strong> is standing there is my teacher.)<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"1368\" data-end=\"1469\">\n<p data-start=\"1370\" data-end=\"1469\"><strong data-start=\"1370\" data-end=\"1419\">Die Frau, die ich kenne, ist sehr freundlich. <\/strong>(The woman <strong data-start=\"1436\" data-end=\"1444\">whom<\/strong> I know is very kind.)<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p data-start=\"1471\" data-end=\"1580\">You could notice that, how der and die were change depending on the noun and the role of the pronoun in the relative clause.<\/p>\n<h3 data-start=\"1587\" data-end=\"1625\"><strong>Role in Combining Two Clauses<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"1626\" data-end=\"1792\">Relative pronouns are important for adding two different sentences to a unified thought.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1626\" data-end=\"1792\">Look at the example below,<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li data-start=\"1796\" data-end=\"1917\">Das ist mein Hund.

Mixing Up the Definite Articles with the Relative Pronouns<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"357\" data-end=\"470\">Relative pronouns often look equal to definite articles<strong> (der, die, das, etc.),<\/strong> which confuses new students.<\/p>\n<ul data-start=\"472\" data-end=\"592\">\n<li data-start=\"472\" data-end=\"530\">\n<p data-start=\"474\" data-end=\"530\">The wrong sentence: Das ist der Mann, der Mann wohnt in Berlin.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"531\" data-end=\"592\">\n<p data-start=\"533\" data-end=\"592\"><strong>Correct sentence is: Das ist \ud83d\udd35der Mann, \ud83d\udfe2der in Berlin \ud83d\udd34wohnt.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p data-start=\"594\" data-end=\"714\">\ud83d\udc49\u00a0The second <strong>der<\/strong> is not an editorial however a relative pronoun. It introduces the relative clause, now not a brand new noun.<\/p>\n<h3 data-start=\"721\" data-end=\"769\"><strong>2. Using the Wrong Case for the Pronoun<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"770\" data-end=\"914\">A very common mistake is to anticipate the relative pronoun is constantly nominative. But its case relies upon at the position inside the relative clause.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Example 1 (Accusative mistake):<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul data-start=\"952\" data-end=\"1056\">\n<li data-start=\"952\" data-end=\"1000\">\n<p data-start=\"954\" data-end=\"1000\">The wrong sentence: Das ist die Frau, die mich kenne.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"1001\" data-end=\"1056\">\n<p data-start=\"1003\" data-end=\"1056\"><strong>Correct sentence is: Das ist \ud83d\udd35die Frau, \ud83d\udfe2die ich \ud83d\udd34kenne.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p data-start=\"1058\" data-end=\"1149\">\ud83d\udc49 Inside the clause (ich kenne sie), die is the object, so here accusative is needed.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Example 2 (Dative mistake):<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul data-start=\"1188\" data-end=\"1291\">\n<li data-start=\"1188\" data-end=\"1235\">\n<p data-start=\"1190\" data-end=\"1235\">The wrong sentence: Das ist das Kind, der ich helfe.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"1236\" data-end=\"1291\">\n<p data-start=\"1238\" data-end=\"1291\"><strong>Correct sentence is: Das ist \ud83d\udd35das Kind, \ud83d\udfe2dem ich \ud83d\udd34helfe.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p data-start=\"1293\" data-end=\"1362\">\ud83d\udc49 Here the verb helfen requires the <strong data-start=\"1323\" data-end=\"1333\">dative<\/strong>, so we must use \ud83d\udfe2<strong data-start=\"1352\" data-end=\"1359\">dem<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h3 data-start=\"1369\" data-end=\"1412\"><strong>3. Forgetting the Verb-at-the-End Rule<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"1413\" data-end=\"1515\">Learners frequently hold the English word order in preference to transferring the verb to the end of the relative clause.<\/p>\n<ul data-start=\"1517\" data-end=\"1632\">\n<li data-start=\"1517\" data-end=\"1570\">\n<p data-start=\"1519\" data-end=\"1570\">The wrong sentence : Das ist der Mann, der wohnt in Berlin.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"1571\" data-end=\"1632\">\n<p data-start=\"1573\" data-end=\"1632\"><strong>Correct sentence is: Das ist \ud83d\udd35der Mann, \ud83d\udfe2der in Berlin \ud83d\udd34wohnt.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p data-start=\"1634\" data-end=\"1709\">\ud83d\udc49\u00a0In German, the verb of the relative clause usually is goes to the ed of the clause.<\/p>\n<h3 data-start=\"1716\" data-end=\"1776\"><strong>4.

Instead of writing a short or different sentences, the relative clause will help you to connect different ideas without repeating the sentence. With a few simple rules on the gender, number, and cases, you can make your own sentences that keep much better for everyday use.<\/p>\n<p>The best way to learn is by using them in your day-to-day life conversation. By trying to add two small sentences to your writing or adding relative clause while talking with friends. Don&#8217;t worry if this doesn&#8217;t perfect &#8211; all attempts will work you improve much more. The more you practice, the more confident will become, and soon the relative clauses will feel like a natural part of your German language skill.<\/p>\n<table class=\"table\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td
