Latin Grammar: Relative Pronouns
Res vero a quibus sunt artificialia, sunt auctores et procuratores eorum, sicut carpentarius, a quo lectus, et politor, a quo ensis.  Res vero per quas sunt vel existunt corpora artificialia, duae sunt in omni corpore, scilicet materia et forma.

The relative pronoun qui, quae, quod (who/which/that) is featured prominently in this text.  Relative pronouns agree in gender and number with their antecedent noun, but take their case based on their grammatical function.  Practice forming the relative pronoun by translating the following phrases into Latin.

1.    The man who is brave:  Vir fortis est.
2.    The man to whom I gave this:  Vir hoc dedi.
3.    The men of whom I am a part:  Viri pars sum.
4.    The woman who is pretty:  femina pulcher est.
5.    The woman whose face I saw:  femina vultum vidi.
6.    The woman whom I saw: femina vidi.
7.    That which I did:  feci.
8.    That which is true:  verum est.
9.    Those whom I saw: vidi.
