Relative clauses are phrases that are attached to a topic sentence and serve to give information about a person, object or place that has been previously mentioned in the main clause.

They are subordinate clauses that join the main sentence by the relative pronouns or adverbs (adverbs or relative pronouns), words that act as a link between the two. These are: who, which, that, where, Whom, whose, where, when, why. Pronouns or relative adverbs referring to the person, object or place of the main clause (which is known as antecedent) and replaces it.
