single adjectives – good for simple ideas
For more complicated ideas- need an
adjective clause
An adjective clause tells us about (describes) a noun just like an adjective does. Adjective clauses have subject and a verb.
Adjective clauses usually use these three words: who, that, which.
90% of the time you will be using who, that, which.
There are other words: whom whose
where – not used often
NOTE: ‘whom’ very rarely used
MY ADVICE: You pretty much 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, USE THIS EXACT PHRASE
To whom it might concern, XXX
To whom concern, XXX
To concern who is, XXX
Are you concerning who is what this,
XXX
DON’T CHANGE IT. It is a convention.
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- city names, landmarks)
*POINT TO CONSIDER
‘that’ is multiuse word 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 dog that lives next door is very cute. adjective
clause
The man who lives next door is very friendly. adjective
clause
That waterbottle is leaking. pronoun
The waterbottle that is on the table is leaking. adj cl
Which waterbottle? on the table
The waterbottle which my son gave me is leaking. special
She said that she will be late tomorrow. noun clause
The sandwich that she made was very tasty. adjective clause
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, overwritten, grammar is fine
noun clause, pronoun, adjective cl, adverb cl
That guy is really tall. pronoun
We saw a giraffe that had a really
long neck. adjective clause
Adjective clause- The new earrings that
you got for Xmas are nice.
The new earrings which you got for
Xmas are nice. special
FOCUS who that
which
