individual adjectives
– good for simple ideas
more complicated, subtler,
more in-depth description – use adjective clauses
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
– NOT USED OFTEN
whom – rarely used,
very fancy sounding, like a grammar book
Native English
speakers rarely use ‘whom’. We say
‘who’.
MY ADVICE: Forget
about ‘whom’. It is not important. You don’t need it.
One exception about
‘whom’- writing to someone, don’t know who will be receiving the letter
GREETING: To
whom it may concern,
e.g. business
letter, legal letter, reference letter
Not an everyday
occurrence. Pretty rare.
FOCUS ON HIGH-FREQUENCY
USAGE: who that which – 95% of the time
who – used
for people, any people, sounds nice, sounds polite and respectful
that- things
that are not alive, animals, RARER-people (sounds a little disrespectful, you
don’t like that person)
SUBTLETY IN
ENGLISH, signal your opinion of a person:
The guy that my
sister married is odd. adjective clause
The man who my
other sister married is awesome. adjective clause
‘that’ is a
multiuse word in English
Who is that? Not an
adjective clause, sounds polite
Who is that/the
woman you were talking to?
That is a beautiful
baby!
Is that your son?
-sounds ok
FOCUS –‘that’ in
adjective clauses
lulo -fruit
My skin gets irritated
when I eat peaches.
