Level 78 - Relative Pronouns

Relative pronouns link two phrases known as clauses which both contain a verb. Thankfully you don't need to be able to explain what a relative pronoun is; just make sure you recognise them and understand their meanings:

dont
lequel / laquelle / lesquels / lesquelles

qui
que
  of which
which
where (sometimes when)
which / who / whom
that

Examples

je vois l'outil dont j'ai besoin
voilà le bureau dans lequel je travaille
voici le magasin j'ai acheté le cadeau
août est le mois il fait le plus chaud
j'ai un chat qui dort dans le jardin
c'est mon frère avec qui je partage une chambre
l'homme que j'ai vu hier est là-bas
  I see the tool of which I have need (I see the tool I need)
there is the office in which I work
this is the shop where I bought the present
August is the month when it is the hottest
I have a cat which sleeps in the garden
it's my brother with whom I share a bedroom
the man that I saw yesterday is over there
