🌸 Grammar❗ Relative Clauses
One grammar structure that appears very frequently throughout the transcript is the relative clause, especially clauses beginning with who, which, and that.
We use relative clauses to give more information about a person, thing, or place without starting a completely new sentence.
1. who → usually for people
> “...the gods, who would dwell beside her...”
2. who → describing a person/people
“...powerful beings who would rule the cosmos...”
3. which → describing a thing
“The helm of Hades, which made its wearer invisible.”
💡 Easy rule:
who → people 👤
which → things/animals 🏺
that → people or things ✨
