Relative Pronouns and Relative Clauses in Latin

Welcome to a series of lectures dedicated to exploring the usage of relative pronouns in Latin sentences. Relative pronouns can be a source of confusion for students due to their complex rules. They must agree in number and gender with the noun in the main sentence they refer to while taking their case from their function within their relative clause.

Our journey begins with a thorough examination of relative pronouns and relative clauses in English, a language familiar to our students. English and Latin share linguistic roots, which allows us to draw some parallels. We start with a brief explanation of relative clauses in English, followed by an exploration of the forms of the relative pronoun in Latin. We then delve into how Latin relative clauses function, dissecting them in various contexts and explaining their intricacies. We leave no aspect of relative clauses unexplored, providing comprehensive insights into their various cases. Finally, we invite students to practice sentence analysis and translation independently in a concluding lecture.
