Relative clauses

These relative clauses include those that are called relative pronouns, which substitute nouns already mentioned on past sentences.

• Who → equal to "that", related to people and pets
• Which → equal to "that", related to things
• That
• Whose → means possession
• Why → reason
• Where → place
• When → time

Restrictive clauses are sentences that characterize another noun on another phrase, to which it is not separated by commas. Non-restrictive clauses are sentences the same way, but are separated by commas to the noun it's characterizing.
