pair) to another.
Relative pronouns — who, whoever, whom, whomever, that, and which — relate one idea to another, usually by replacing a noun. For example, in this sentence the relative pronoun that replaces book: The book that I bought is very interesting.
Adverbs such as however, consequently, therefore, then, also, nevertheless, and others may not link one complete sentence to another. Use these words to add meaning, but be sure that you use a semicolon or conjunction between the sentences.
