Relativsätze (Relative Clauses) – Telc B1

Relativsätze describe a noun and are introduced by relative pronouns: der, die, das (and forms in other cases), welcher, welche, welches, or wo for places/times.

Example: Der Mann, der dort steht, ist mein Lehrer. (The man who is standing there is my teacher.)

Word order: Relative pronoun + subject + … + verb at end.
Das ist das Buch, das ich gelesen habe.

Case: The pronoun agrees in gender/number with the noun it refers to, but its case depends on its role inside the relative clause. Der Mann, den ich gesehen habe — den because “ich habe den Mann gesehen” (accusative).
