Study
Relative Pronouns help refer to a noun previously mentioned. These usually require working with more than one sentence!

La comida que yo comí.
The food that I ate.

La tarea que hiciste tú.
The homework that you did.

Relative Pronouns also help to frame or introduce a clause that modifies a noun.

La película que miré anoche es muy buena.
The movie that I watched last night was very good.

The Relative Pronoun QUE often means the word “that…” in English,
BUT it can also be used in place of other pronouns like “who, whom, which, and that”.

El hombre que es rico y inteligente.
The man who is smart and intelligent.

Los libros que son pesados.
The books which are heavy.

El libro que leíste.
The book that you read.

Remember, SPANISH AIN’T ENGLISH!
English tends to omit relative pronouns while Spanish does not!
