Identify people and things precisely
Das ist die Kollegin, die die Planung übernimmt.
Use subject relative clauses to describe a colleague, a team or a document without confusing responsibility.
A relative clause adds information about a noun and is separated by commas. Its pronoun agrees with the noun in gender and number; its case depends on its job inside the relative clause. Here the relative pronoun is the subject: der Kollege, der hilft; die Kollegin, die plant; das Team, das antwortet; die Personen, die helfen. The finite verb goes at the end. A role stated in one task does not make that person responsible for every other task. Read the entire description before assigning a responsibility.
