1. Adjective Clause
“Adjective clause is a sub clause which functions to modify or explain a noun. Adjective clause
usually uses the relative pronoun who, whom, which, that, or whose.”
The words in italics in the following sentences are the examples of adjective clauses:

We will visit the boy whom you hit yesterday.
My uncle is repairing the car which hit the post near my school last Sunday.
The book which you will borrow is being read by your classmate.
The student whose father works abroad is not arrogant in her class.
When do we use the relative pronouns who, whom, which, that, and whose?
a. Who
The relative pronoun who is used when the adjective clause explains a person and when the
relative pronoun is followed by a predicate. Here is the formula:
noun of a person + who + predicate
For example:
The man who wears a red hat interviewed me in Jakarta last week.
The adjective clause is who wears a red hat. The relative pronoun is who. The noun
which is explained by the adjective clause is man. After the relative pronoun who is
wears: it is a predicate.
b. Whom
The relative pronoun whom is used when the adjective clause explains a person, and when
the relative pronoun is followed by a subject. Here is the formula:
noun of a person + whom + subject
For example:
The teacher whom I greeted yesterday teaches in my class twice a week.
The adjective clause is whom I greeted yesterday. The relative pronoun is whom. The noun
which is explained by the adjective clause is teacher. After the relative pronoun whom is I: it
is a subject.
c. Which
The relative pronoun which is used when the adjective clause explains something which is not
a person (an animal, a plant, a tree, or a non-living object), and when the relative pronoun is
followed by a subject or a predicate. Here is the formula:
1st Formula: something that is not a person + which + predicate
For example:
The cats which bit you yesterday belongs to my niece.
The adjective clause is which bit you yesterday. The relative pronoun is which. The noun
which is explained by the adjective clause is cats. After the relative pronoun which is were
bit: it is a predicate.
d. That
The relative pronoun that can replace the relative pronouns who, which, and whom.

relative pronoun that.

The book which you will borrow is being read by your classmate.
