I wanna ask again..
Does 'relate back' mean that "A relative pronoun mentions a noun and its position is behind the noun"?
Actually I don't need the inforamtion about the grammar, 'relative pronouns'.
I just asked to make sure the meanig of the word phrase 'relate back' used in the sentence.

Let me try to explain this in a different way...
"Relative pronouns always relate back to something or somebody else."
Take the example: This is the bank that accepted my identification.
Here the word "that" relates back to "bank". Here "bank" is the "something" that the definition talks about.
