Show transcript
Relative clauses add information about the noun in the main clause, without starting another sentence. A relative clause starts with a relative pronoun - the definite article ('der', 'die', 'das') that matches the noun. Question words such as ‘wo’ can also be used as pronouns in relative clauses. ‘Was’ can be used as a relative pronoun meaning ‘that' or 'which’ when referring to a whole clause, not a specific noun. Many famous German figures continue to be influential in today’s world.
