• Relative clauses are like adjectives. They give us more information about nouns and pronouns.

Adjectives:

She bought a pretty dress.

My English teacher gave me a new book.

Relative Clauses:

She bought a dress that has some rine stones on it.

The teacher that was teaching English here last year has moved to another city.

• Whenever possible, we live out relative pronouns (who, that), especially in spoken English.

The movie (that) I like the best is the Exorcist.

The man (who) she loved has died.

• Pay attention to the word oder in the relative clause when the verb has a preposition (send for, listen to, etc.):

This is not the book I sent you for.

I really like the song we listened to at the meeting.
