Unit 11: Adjective Clauses: Review and Expansion

It's important to use a complex sentence using adjective clauses and to know when to combine who, that,whom and some cases without pronuons, this unit shows us the rules

An adjective clause is a dependent clause that modifies a noun. It is possible to combine the following two sentences to form one sentence containing an adjective clause:

The children are going to visit the central park.
They are on the bus.

The children who are on the bus are going to visit the central park.
It could be :
The children that are on the bus are going to visit the central park.

Who and that could be used to refer to people, as the subjects of verbs in adjective clauses.

Some other sentences can be combined into a sentence using adjective clauses in a variety of ways, and they are all correct.

The church is old.
My brothers were married there.

The church where my brothers were married is old.
The church in which my brothers were married is old.
The church which my brothers were married in is old.
The church that my brothers were married in is old.
The church my brothers were married in is old.
