3. Examples: The woman who sits near the king is a queen. Who = relative pronoun Who sits near the king = relative clause woman = antecedent The wine which the slaves carry is excellent. which = relative pronoun which the slaves carry = relative clause wine = antecedent

5. Examples: Femina quae prope regem sedet est regina. The woman who sits near the king is queen. Femina quam Quintus videt est regina. The woman whom Quintus sees is queen. Femina cui mercator credit est regina. The woman whom the merchant trusts is queen. All 3 relative pronouns are feminine singular to agree with femina, but the cases change according to the use in the relative clause.
