Relative Pronouns Exercises For Dutch Grammar

Exercise 1: Fill in the blanks with the appropriate Dutch relative pronoun

In Dutch grammar, relative pronouns are essential elements used to refer back to a noun, pronoun, or antecedent in a sentence. They provide additional information about the subject or the object without repeating the noun. Some common relative pronouns in Dutch include “die” (who/that/which), “dat” (that/which), “wie” (who/whom), and “waar” (where/when). The choice of relative pronoun depends on the gender and number of the antecedent, as well as the case in which the pronoun is used. Mastering relative pronouns in Dutch is crucial for understanding and forming complex sentences. Practice with the following exercises to improve your grasp of Dutch relative pronouns.
