Mastering Grammar

• A relative clause is one kind of dependent clause. It has a subject and verb,
but can’t stand alone as a sentence. It is sometimes called an “adjective clause”
because it functions like an adjective—it gives more information about a noun.
A relative clause always begins with a “relative pronoun,” which substitutes for a
noun, a noun phrase, or a pronoun when sentences are combined.

Relative clauses are of two types–defining and non-defining.

Defining relative clause

A defining relative clause tells which noun we are talking about:

I like the woman who lives next door.

(If I don’t say ‘who lives next door’, then we don’t know which woman I mean.)
