The Denotative is the literal or primary meaning of a word, in contrast to the feelings or ideas that the word suggests. The Connotation is an idea or feeling that a word invokes in addition to its literal or primary meaning.

Select the correct relative pronoun form the list given and complete the blank space in each of tge following sentences.
Arturiano [62]

Answer:

I will explain to you when to use these relative pronouns and then you can probably figure the answer out yourself. It's pretty simple!

Explanation:

Where: This relative pronoun refers to a place, such as the White House or the moon. "Where is my phone?"

When: This is about time. It can be at 12:00 in the morning, Tuesday, or even 1987. "This morning <em>when</em> the bus arrived, I wasn't ready so I missed it.

Who: This is about people. It can be soldiers, astronauts, students, etc. "The students, <em>who</em> were late to class, sat down 10 minutes before the final bell."

Which: This is about the difference between multiple things. For example: "Which should I use to eat dinner, the spoon or the fork?" This can also be used to talk about a place. "My house, <em>which</em> is very large, is a couple blocks away from school."

Why: This is when you want to ask for what reason. "<em>Why</em> isn't the the food warmed up yet?"

Whose: This is when you are asking if something belongs to someone. "<em>Whose</em> pencil does this belong to?"

Now, when you do the answers, look for the things that the relative pronouns are referring to. For example: "when" is talking about time. So, you look at answers that refer to a certain time. This works for #2. "The moment when..."

"Moment" is a unit of time, so it works for "when."

I'll go over #1 also.

"This is a restaurant..." OK, so we know that "restaurant is a place. So, that rules out when, which is time, who, which is people, which, which is different things, why, which is a reason, and whose, which is belonging to.

This works for "where." It is talking about where this restaurant is.
