Relative clauses
A relative clause is a specific type of subordinate clause that adapts, describes or modifies a noun.
Relative clauses add information to sentences by using a relative pronoun such as who, that or which.
| Relative pronoun | Noun that the pronoun refers to |
| who | Refers to a person |
| which | Refers to an animal, place or thing |
| that | Can refer to a person, place or thing |
The relative clause is used to add information about the noun, so it must be ‘related’ to the noun.

A relative clause can also be an embedded clause if it is positioned in the middle of a sentence, for example:
