Question 1

Relative Clauses

Relative Clauses

Be careful not to confuse relative pronouns with definite articles

Answer 1

Relative clauses are adjectival or descriptive clauses that are introduced by relative pronouns, of which English has the forms who, whose, whom, which, and that.

The suffix -περ may be added for emphasis
e.g., ὅσπερ=the very one who.

Note this rule: the relative pronoun, which introduces the relative clause, agrees with the noun, noun phrase, or pronoun to which it refers in the main clause (i.e., its antecedent) in gender and number, but its case is determined by its function in the relative clause.
