Yo lo quiero celebrar con todos vosotros centrando la atención en la explicación de los PRONOMBRES RELATIVOS.
SON LOS SIGUIENTES:
- WHO: quien/quienes (solo para personas)
- WHOM: quien/ quienes (personas) utilizaremos esta forma cuando necesitemos poner una preposición delante. NUNCA es sujeto de la frase.
- WHICH: que, cual, cuales (cosas y animales)
- WHAT: que, cual, cuales (cosas y animales)
- WHOSE: cuyo, cuya, cuyos, cuyas, y en pregunta Whose? significa ¿de quién?
- WHERE: donde, en el que, en la que, en los que, en las que.
** He puesto la traducción real de casa uno de estos pronombres relativos, pero en español muchas veces los traducimos simplemente por QUE, en los que se refieren a cosas.
** Debemos limitarnos a utilizar estos pronombres igual que en español.

- Who are you? ¿Quién eres tú?
- I like the place where you live: Me gusta el lugar en el que vives.
- Whose is this handbag? ¿De quién es este bolso?

READ THIS AND TRANSLATE.
(from an article by E. Valli, National Geographic magazine)
His name is Mani Lal. Like his father and his grandfather in central Nepal, he is a honey hunter. With only a rope round his waist, he hangs over a 120-metre cliff on a rope ladder to harvest the sweet treasure of Apis laboriosa, the world's largest honeybee.
Thousands of angry bees fill the air as he pushes a bamboo pole into their nest. But over his everyday shirt he wears only a cape on his head and a pair of old trousers given to him by a cousin serving in the British army.
He cuts thick pieces of honeycomb into a bamboo basket lined with the skin of a wild goat. When the basket is full, he lowers it to his friends at the bottom of the cliff.
The sound of the giant bees is fightening, but Mani Lal moves quickly and calmyl. He has done this many times. He is 64 years old.
