Spanish has three frequently-used relative pronouns. ¡Atención! Even though interrogative words (qué, quién, etc.) always carry an accent, relative pronouns never carry a written accent.

Que is the most frequently used relative pronoun. It can refer to things or to people. Unlike its English counterpart, that, que is never omitted.

Unlike que and quien(es), lo que doesn’t refer to a specific noun. It refers to an idea, a situation, or a past event and means what, that which, or the thing that.
