The document discusses linking two sentences together using relative pronouns. It explains that a relative pronoun can substitute a common item between two sentences to join them into one sentence. There are two types of relative clauses - defining and non-defining. Defining clauses provide essential information about a noun, while non-defining clauses offer extra information and use commas. Relative adverbs like "where" can also be used as linking words.
