Relative pronouns relate to another noun preceding it in the sentence. In doing so, they connect a dependent clause to an antecedent (i.e., a noun that precedes the pronoun.) Therefore, relative pronouns acts as the subject or object of the dependent clause.

Consider the following sentence where the relative pronoun is a subject:

The chef who won the competition studied in Paris.

In this sentence, WHO relates back to (or is relative to) the noun CHEF. WHO also acts as the subject of the dependent clause and the verb WON. The dependent clause: who won the competition. The independent clause: The chef studied in Paris.

In this sentence, the relative pronoun is an object in the dependent clause.

The shirt that Carl bought has a stain on the pocket.

In this sentence, THAT relates back to (or is relative to) the noun SHIRT. THAT is also the object of the verb BOUGHT. The dependent clause is: that Carl bought. The independent clause: The shirt has a stain on the pocket.

I am the person WHO answered your question.
Who is the relative pronoun here.
Definition: A relative pronoun is a pronoun which
comes at the beginning of a qualifying clause. It
can also refer to the clause itself.
In my example the relative clause is "who answered".
and is part of the phrase " the person who".
Hope that makes sense!
