 Remember
• Some relative clauses define or provide essential information about
the noun they precede. In such cases no comma is used to separate
them from the main clause.
Example: The girl who is wearing red T- shirt is my sister.
 Watch out!
• The adjective clause should be placed as close as possible to the
noun it describes:
• The antecedent: The noun that an adjective clause describes is
called the antecedent
 Example
• 1. The tiger that was hurt has been taken to the hospital.(Correct)

• 1. The Tiger has been taken to the hospital that was hurt.(Wrong)
• If the subject of the adjective clause
• Is a person, use who or whom.
• Is a thing or an animal, use which or that.
• Is a place, use where.
Use who for subject nouns and whom for object
nouns.
Example: Riyan, who is standing on the left, is a
singer.
Riyan is the singer whom everyone likes.
