    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

    • Reduced relative clauses are a shorter way to write relative clauses.
    • The relative pronoun and the verb "be" are often omitted in reduced relative clauses.
    • They are commonly used to modify nouns or pronouns, adding extra information.
    • Example: The package delivered this morning is on my desk. (The package that was delivered this morning)
    • Example: The student studying for the exams will have a good score. (The student who is studying for the exams)
