How this list was compiled: Written for this page: every sentence has one blank and three relative words under it, and only one fits. Who is the subject of its clause, whose comes before a noun, and whom follows a preposition or is the object of the clause; where who is commonly accepted in speech, who is not among the choices. Which is asked only in a clause set off by commas and that only in a clause with no commas. Which is never offered where that is right; in six of the comma clauses that is one of the wrong choices, because that does not open a clause set off by commas. Where, when and why follow a place, a time and the word reason. The rules were read in Wikipedia's article English relative clauses, en.wikipedia.org/wiki/English_relative_clauses, on 2 October 2026 (CC BY-SA 4.0); the grade is from the Common Core language standard L.4.1a, read the same day. No person, brand or character is named. Licence: own work

How it works

Each sheet prints 6 sentences with one blank and three words under it. The first set asks who, whom or whose; the second asks which, that, where, when or why. One word fits each blank.

Read the full guide

Who, whom or whose

Who does the action: the girl who sits beside me. Whose comes before something that belongs to the person: the girl whose kite got stuck. Whom follows a word such as to, for, with or from (the pen pal to whom I wrote) or stands for the person the action is done to (the guest whom we invited).

Which, that, where, when or why

Pick Which, that, where, when, why under Set. Which sits in a clause between commas; that sits in one with no commas. Where follows a place, when follows a time, and why follows the word reason.

  • Try he or him in the clause: he sits beside me takes who; I wrote to him takes whom.

Questions and answers

Is there a PDF of these relative pronouns worksheets?

The page makes the sheet in your browser. Press Print worksheet, then choose Save as PDF in the print window to keep a copy. The answer key is its last page.

What are the relative pronouns?

Who, whose, whom, which and that. The Common Core asks fourth graders to use these five and the relative adverbs where, when and why (L.4.1a). Each one begins a clause that tells more about a noun.

When do you use whom instead of who?

Use whom when the person receives the action or follows a preposition: the player to whom I passed the ball. Use who when the person does the action: the player who scored.

Do the worksheets have an answer key?

Yes. The key shows each sentence with the right word circled and written in. To print the sheet alone, uncheck Add an answer key as the last page under More options.

Can I use my own sentences?

Yes. Type one a line with ___ for the blank, an equals sign, the right word, then a slash before each wrong one: The kite ___ crashed is mine. = that / who. Your lines replace ours.
