In this lesson, we use the concept of relative pronouns. A relative pronoun is used to introduce a clause that describes a previously mentioned noun. One of the most important relative pronouns is in fact que that means that, which, who, or whom and can refer to a person, place, or thing. Here que stands for él. This sentence translates into:
He chose a phone that is very small
Nosotros venimos de un país que está lejos de aquí
