Examine each column. Do you see any patterns? These patterns hold true for all Latin pronouns, including the relative pronouns quī, quae, quod, and
others.

Neuter Rule for Pronouns: 1) The accusative singular is always the same as the nominative singular (just like nouns)
2) The nominative & accusative plural always look like the feminine nominative singular (not the same as nouns)

Does this pronoun follow the same pattern you saw in the demonstrative pronouns? For the most part, yes, but what’s different?

Yes, the relative pronoun follows the Neuter Rule for Pronouns!

If you’re asking a question with a pronoun (which person?, which book?, etc.) use the relative pronoun. However, if you’re asking the general “Who
are you? Whose book is this? What did you do?!), use the interrogative pronoun below.

who, which,

masc quis cuius cui quem quō quī quōrum quibus quōs quibus

fem quae cuius cui quam quā quae quārum quibus quās quibus

neut quid cuius cui quid quō quae quōrum quibus quae quibus

The interrogative pronouns are used when asking “Who / what …?”

If you have no idea whether the answer is a man or a woman, use the masculine form.
(Who ate the last piece of cake? Whom did you call last night?)
If you know the answer will be a woman, use the feminine form. (Who is your sister? Whom did your brother marry?)
If you’re talking about an object and don’t know what it is, use the neuter.
