This document discusses adjective clauses, including their placement and structure. It explains that an adjective clause embeds one sentence within another as a modifier. It discusses the different relative pronouns used as subjects or objects of the main and embedded clauses for both people and things. It also covers using whose to indicate possession, and where and when as relative pronouns for place and time. Finally, it distinguishes between identifying and non-identifying adjective clauses.
