More complicated ideas- use an adjective clause
Three most common pronouns for adjective clauses:
who that which
*** 95% of the time- who that which ***
Other less commonly used pronouns for adjective
clauses: whom, where, whose
PARTICULAR POINT OF CONFUSION
whom – rarely used, very fancy sounding, sounds
like a grammar book
Native English speakers rarely use ‘whom’. We say ‘who’.
MY FREE ADVICE: Forget about ‘whom’. It is not
important.
One exception about ‘whom’. writing to someone,
don’t know who will be receiving the letter
GREETING: To whom it may concern,
Not an everyday occurrence. Pretty rare.
Get the words right! To whom it may concern,
FORMAL SOUNDING ENGLISH preposition + whom
to whom
from whom with whom
With whom are you speaking? FORMAL STYLE
Who are speaking with? STIFF SERIOUS
Who are talking to? CASUAL
Pick your tone. Who are you talking to? What
impression are you trying to make?
FOCUS ON HIGH FREQUENCY USAGE: who that which – 97%
of the time
*who – used for people, any people, sounds nice,
sounds polite and respectful, you can use it for all people
*that- things that are not alive, animals, people
(sounds a little disrespectful, sounds like you don’t like that person)
SUBTLETY IN ENGLISH, signal your opinion of a
person:
The guy that my sister married is a creep.
adjective clause
creep- a person who gives you a weird negative
feeling, makes you feel uncomfortable
The man who my other sister married is awesome.
adjective clause
That people that did not respect me are now out of
my life.
The people who are my true friends will always be
with me.
‘that’ many uses in English
Who is that? Not an adjective clause, sounds polite
Who is that woman you were talking to?
That is a beautiful baby!
Is that your son? -sounds ok
*which- special things (special to you), unique
things
This is a watch that I bought last week. not
special
I really like the watch which my dad gave me for my
18th birthday. special
wedding ring – which
necklace that your grandmother gave you – which
toothbrush – that
glasses- that
*which – special things, unique things
special things- You decide if it is special to you.
I have a silver ring which my son gave me. a
special thing to me
Mei is wearing the jade necklace which her
grandmother gave to her.
Shirin is wearing the jade necklace that her
grandmother gave to her. (sounds like a regular necklace, not special)

up on the fridge.
unique things- only one in the world

the 2022 Olympic Winter Games. unique

Alberta.

XXX

son to play in the backyard.
who is very elderly adj cl SV

older, old (doesn’t sound polite), senior citizen
My dad is getting older. He is older now. He is 79.
impolite- one foot in the grave, on his last legs,
knocking on Heaven’s door, long in the tooth, ready to give up the ghost
That old dog is long in the tooth. very old
long in the tooth (idiom)- horses teeth grow their
whole life, also mice, also beavers
Sometimes people who are very elderly start to
worry about going to heaven. They start going to church and praying and reading
Holy books.
“They are cramming for the final.”
‘cramming for the final’ - studying all night
before a big test
cram- study hard in a short period of time
‘cram schools’ – Japan, school that promote intense
studying for a exam
Jun’s sister who lives in Spain is a nurse.
Jun’s sister that lives in Spain is a nurse. SOUNDS
STRANGE, Don’t use ‘that’ for a person.
COMMON ERROR:
Jun’s sister who lives in Spain. sentence fragment, not a complete sentence,
half a sentence
*In a sentence with an adjective clause, you have
to say two things, two SV.
Jun’s sister who lives in Spain is a nurse. 1 2
The phone that she bought was not expensive. 1 2
that – animals, things, people we don’t like or
don’t respect
Marta has a dog who that has cute floppy ears.

visit. -secret message- don’t like him much-
The guy who my sister married is coming over for a
visit. – secret message- like him-
The guy who my sister married is really good
fellow.
SOURCE OF CONFUSION ‘that’ is used in noun clauses
and adjective clauses, also a pronon
multi-use word, confusing
Examples
That sandwich was delicious.
The sandwich that she made was very tasty.
I think that that sandwich was scrumptious. noun
clause, pronoun
She thinks that that sandwich that you made was so
good that she wants to have another one. confusing, not good writing, grammar
is fine
