Relative pronouns have the same referent as the noun they modify in the main clause. The document provides examples of relative clauses identifying or describing nouns using relative pronouns like who, which, that, and whose. It also explains that relative clauses come after the noun they modify and can identify or provide more information about the noun.

Conclusion
A relative pronoun is used to start a description for a noun. (This description is called
an adjective clause or a relative clause.) The description comes after the noun to:
(1) identify it.
For example:
(The adjective clause identifying the lady is shaded)
(The relative pronoun is who)
(The noun isthe lady)
The lady who made your dress is waiting outside.
I saw the dog which ate the cake.
(The noun being identified is the dog)
We did not know the tune that had been playing.
(The noun being identified is the tune)
(2) tell us more information about it.
For example:
Mrs Miggins, who owns a pie shop, is waiting outside.
(The noun is Mrs Miggins)
(The adjective clause tells us some information about her.)
(I rode my bike, which now had two flat stress, back home)
(The noun is my bike)
(The adjective clause tells us some information about it.)

Relative clauses are subordinate
clauses that attach to
nouns. Because they add
information to a noun, some
grammarians and ESL/EFL teachers
call them adjective clauses..
