✍️ Adjective Clause✍️ (Non defining clauses / Relative clauses)
The sentence, which gives more information about noun in a sentence, is called adjective clause. It is also called as Non defining clause / Relative clause.Relative clauses are very useful in defining different things or persons or objects. They can help us join two independent sentences by reducing one sentence to a clause. That means we can avoid the repetition of words and phrases.
💁 1) When the subjects of two sentences are different......
💁 2) When the subjects of two sentences are similar.......
S + , + who / which + 2 nd sentence + , + V + O/C/A of 1st sentence
