Asthe relativepronounrelatesto anothernounprecedingit in the sentence,it connectsa dependent

clauseto an antecedent(a nounthat precedesthis pronoun).Therefore,relativepronounsact as the

e.g. Ihts ,s the approach taken by journalists, whom some consider to be objective.

When using relativepronounsfor places,things or ideas, rather than determiningcase, the writer
must decidewhetherthe informationin the dependentclause is essentialto the meaningof the
independentclauseor simplyadditionalinformation.

When informationis critical to the understandingof the main clause, use that as the appropriate
relativepronounand do not set the informationoff by commas.

e.g. American generalshave delivered a message that is difficult to ignore.

Ihaf relatesbackto the nounmessage

Trafficcan be a big problem in the capitalcity, Hanoi.Be sureto take this into considerationsinceit is
importantto arrivein time for your appointments.Onceyou begin negotiations,be preparedto be
willing to compromise.Perhapsyou shouldfigure out with your supervisorwhat compromisesare
acceptablefor you to make beforeyou leave.
