adjectives – good for simple ideas

For more compicated ideas- need an adjective clause

 

An adjective clause tells us about a noun just like an adjective does.  Adjective clauses have subject and a verb.

Adjective clauses usually use these three words: who, that, which.

There are othe words: whom whose where – not used often

NOTE: ‘whom’ very rarely used, for get about ‘whom’

Writing a letter: To whom it may concern,

To whom concern, XXX

To concern who is, XXX

Are you concerning who is what this, XXX

 

To whom it may concern,

 

*‘who’ is used for people, all people, sounds polite

* ‘that’ is used for things, things are not alive, animals, EXTRA: people who we don’t like (sounds unfriendly)

* ‘which’ is used for special things (special to you), unique things (only one)
