adjectives – good for simple ideas

For more complicated 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,

 

WE USE THESE ONES MOST OFTEN:

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

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

* ‘which’ is used for special things (special to you- only you can decide if it’s special or not), unique things (only one)
