ADJECTIVE
CLAUSES
More complicated, in-depth description – use
adjective clauses
e.g. I love the tea that my sister makes
from flower petals.
complicated ideas – my sister made it, made
from flower petals
I love the delicious tea that my
sister makes from flower petals.
ALTERNATIVES:
I love the tea that my sister makes from
flower petals.
I love the tea made from flower petals.
BASIC
I love the tea (which is) made from flower petals.
I love the tea made from flower petals
by my sister. AWKWARD
VERB TENSE -
I love
the tea that my sister makes from
flower petals. simple present
I love

petals. simple present and passive voice
I loved the tea which my sister made from
flower petals. simple past
CONFUSION – made- simple past and participle

adjective
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 ADVICE: Forget about ‘whom’. It is not
important.
e.g. The woman to whom I was speaking
is my sister. GRAMMAR BOOK
The woman who I was talking/speaking
to/with is my sister. SOUNDS GREAT
The woman I was talking/speaking to
is my sister. VERY AUTHENTIC
Joe, whom I work with, is a great
colleague.
One exception about ‘whom’. writing to
someone, don’t know who will be receiving the letter
GREETING for an impersonal business-type
letter:
To whom it may concern,
Not an everyday occurrence. Pretty rare.
e.g. business letter, reference letter
FORMAL SOUNDING ENGLISH preposition + whom
to whom
from whom with whom
With whom were you speaking? EXTREMELY FORMAL
STYLE, STIFF, SERIOUS
Who were talking to? CASUAL
Pick your tone. What impression are you
trying to make?
**
Wedding invitation- very formal language
Mr. and Mrs. Chen request the honor of your presence
at the nuptials of their daughter…
RSVP
MEANING: Please come to our daughter’s
wedding.
Pick your tone. Time and place.
FOCUS ON HIGH-FREQUENCY WORDS: who that
which – 95% 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
VOCAB creep- a man 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’ -tricky word in English, many uses in
English
adjective clauses & noun clauses & pronoun
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
She said that she would come to the party.
He bought a car that runs on electricity.
that- confusing word, used different ways
adj cl
n cl
pronoun
She said that that pen that she
bought is nice. adjective clause noun clause pronoun
Same meaning, easier to understand:
She said the pen that she bought
is nice.
*which- special things (special to you),
unique things
This is a watch that I bought last week. not
special, just a watch
I really like the watch which my dad gave me
for my 18th birthday. special
She has a diamond wedding ring which her
husband gave her.
wedding ring – which
bracelet
necklace
anklet
necklace that your grandmother gave you –
which
toothbrush – that
glasses- that
gem stone- emerald, ruby, diamond
*which – special things, unique things

to you.

a special thing to me
She has a necklace which her son made for
her.
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)
Clara put the picture which her son
painted for her up on the fridge.
*unique things- only one in the world
Beijing, which is the capital of China,
hosted the 2022 Olympic Summer Games. unique
GOOD RULE OF THUMB: only one, put commas
around it
Edmonton, which has a huge indoor mall,
is in northern Alberta.
She lived in Tehran, which is the capitol of
Iran.
Marta visited the Eiffel Tower, which is
in Paris.
Marta visited the Eiffel Tower that is in
Paris. XXX sounds like there are several Eiffel Towers
The CN Tower, which is in Toronto,
