Relative Pronouns

Relative Pronouns

The two most common relative pronouns in Spanish are:

    que - who, which, that
    quien - who

Que is invariable, and either as subject or object of a verb refers to persons or things.

    el hombre que vino - the man who came
    los hombres que vimos - the men whom we saw
    la casa en que vivo - the house in which I live
    los libros de que hablo - the books of which I speak

Quien (plural quienes) agrees in number with its antecedent, and refers only to persons.

    el hombre a quien ví - the man whom I saw
    las niñas de quienes hablo - the girls of whom I speak
