Relative pronoun
Is "This is a tie which I bought yesterday" right? Or, should it "This is the tie which I bought yesterday?"
Top answer
"The tie" is the most likely, but it all depends on whether your listener is familiar with fact that you bought a tie yesterday. If they are, then "the tie" is fine -- otherwise "a tie" is what you need. Incidentally, why is your question entitled "Relative pronoun"?
