• Relative pronouns introduce relative clauses. The most common relative pronouns are who, whom, whose, which, that. The relative pronoun we use depends on what we are referring to and the type of relative clause.

Here, the speaker is referring to a third person i.e., Prerna, so we will use 'writes' instead of 'write'.

'Writes' is used with third person singular nouns.
