* 주격 관계대명사 who 
This is the boy. (이 아이가 그 소년이다.)
He came here yesterday. (그는 어제 이곳에 왔다.) 

이 두 개의 문장에서 the boy와 he는 같은 사람이다.
이때 he를 who로 바꾸어 쓰면 다음과 같이 하나의 문장을 얻을 수가 있다. 

This is the boy who came here yesterday. (이 아이가 어제 이곳에 온 소년이다.) 

여기서 who는 두 문장을 하나로 연결시켜 주는 접속사의 구실을 할 뿐 아니라 who가 이끄는 절 속에서는
주격 대명사의 구실도 하고 있다. 이와같이 접속사와 대명사의 두 가지 구실을 하는 이런 who를 관계대명사라 하고,
who가 가리키는 앞의 the boy는 선행사라 한다. 이와같이 관계대명사 who는 사람을 선행사로 취하고 있으며,
who 자신이 이끄는 절 속에서는 주어의 역할을 하고 있음을 알 수 있다. 따라서 who를 사람을 선행사로 취하는
주격 관계대명사라 한다. 또한 관계대명사가 이끄는 절(여기서는 who came here yesterday)은 형용사절로서
앞의 선행사(여기서는 the boy)를 수식하는 관계에 있게 된다.

Look at the man who is talking to Jane.

3. 점자로 성경을 읽을 줄 아는 장님이 교회 앞에 앉아 있다.
The blind man who can read his Bible by touch is sitting in front of the church.

4. 비밀을 알고 있는 그 학생은 그것에 관해 우리에게 어떤 말도 하려 하지 않는다.
The student who knows the secret refuses to tell us anything about it.
