Mei likes her new blue silk gloves.
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 other words: whom whose
where – not used often
NOTE: ‘whom’ very rarely used
MY ADVICE: forget about ‘whom’, rarely
used
EXCEPTION
Writing a letter- you don’t know who
will be reading it:
For example- Letter of Reference
*** To whom it may concern, ***
To whom it might concern, XXX
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 WORDS MOST OFTEN WITH
ADJECTIVE CLAUSES:
*‘who’ - used for people, all people,
sounds polite
* ‘that’ - used for things, things are
not alive, plants, 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)
‘that’ is multiuse work in English,
‘that’ is used in many different ways
multi-use word, confusing
Examples
That sandwich was delicious. pronoun
That person is very tall. pronoun
The sandwich that she made was very tasty. adj cl
Example:
I think that that sandwich was scrumptious. noun clause,
pronoun
Crazy example:
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
That guy is really tall. pronoun
Adjective clause- The new earrings that
you got for Xmas are nice.
