What is a vocative?
When the addressee (or addressees) in an imperative construction is expressed, the vocative form is used, which looks the same as the nominative form.
What is a relative clause?
A relative clause is a clause (subject phrase + verb phrase) that includes a relative pronoun (i.e. who, whom, which, what, whose, that) referring to the previous noun.
When reading German relative clauses, you should note the following:
- The relative pronoun must agree in number and gender with its antecedent, but its case is determined by its use in the relative clause.
- the conjugated verb moves to the end of the relative clause.
- Relative clauses are ALWAYS set off with commas.
