Answer 7

Om so.......
Relative Pronoun Definition: We use the relative pronouns to refer to a noun mentioned before and of which we are adding more information. They are used to join two or more sentences and forming in that way what we call "relative sentences".
That leads us to.....
A relative clause is an adjective clause. A relative clause, or adjective clause, is a dependent clause, a subordinate clause. The only kind of clause that isn't dependent is a sentence, which is an independent clause. Not all clauses are sentences, but all sentences are clauses.

Here is a sentence with a relative clause and an independent clause: The woman who answered the phone was nice.

The independent clause is, "The woman was nice." The adjective clause, or relative clause, is, "who answered the phone."

Adjective clauses have a relative pronoun, called so because it relates to the last noun. "Who" relates to "woman." Other relative pronouns are "that," "which," "whom," "where," "whose," and sometimes the relative pronoun can be omitted. Examples: That is the school where I went to kindergarten. The movie (that) we saw last night was excellent. The "that" can be omitted.

Other dependent clauses are noun clauses, which act like nouns, and adverbial clauses, which do an adverb's job.

Answer 8

This is also reletive to the topic...
A relative clause is a subordinate clause that modifies a noun. For example, the noun phrase the man who wasn't there contains the noun man, which is modified by the relative clause who wasn't there. In many European languages, relative clauses are introduced by a special class of pronouns called relative pronouns; in the previous example, who is a relative pronoun. In other languages, relative clauses may be marked in different ways: they may be introduced by a special class of conjunctions called relativizers; the main verb of the relative clause may appear in a special morphological variant; or a relative clause may be indicated by word order alone. In some languages, more than one of these mechanisms may be possible.
