Relative Clauses
- A relative clause is a clause that modifies a noun or pronoun.
- They are introduced by relative pronouns: who, whom, whose, which, and that.
- Who refers to people.
- Whom is the object form of "who."
- Whose shows possession.
- Which refers to things.
- That can refer to both people and things but is often omitted from the sentence.
Reduced Relative Clauses

- The relative pronoun and the verb "be" are often omitted in reduced relative clauses.
