A clause that modifies a noun or a pronoun is a relative clause; a clause introduced by a relative pronoun; a clause that 'relates' to a noun or pronoun in the sentence.

The relative pronouns are: who, whom, whose, which, that.

Examples:

  • The man who fixed the dishwasher was recommended by my sister.
    • the clause 'who fixed the dishwasher' relates to the noun 'man'
  • The people to whom we sent invitations are all current customers.
    • the clause 'to whom we sent invitations' relates to the noun 'people'
  • The person whose mailbox I hit was very nice about it.
    • the clause 'whose mailbox I hit' relates to the noun 'person'
  • Discussing which movie to see, we decided on the animated penguins.
    • the clause 'which movie to see' relates to the gerund 'discussing'
  • The one that I got said that I had thirty days to respond.
    • the clause 'that I got' relates to the indefinite pronoun 'one'
