What is a relative clause?

A relative clause is a type of dependent clause that provides additional information about a noun or pronoun in the main clause. It is introduced by a relative pronoun (such as who, whom, whose, which, or that) or a relative adverb (such as when, where, or why). Relative clauses can function as adjective clauses, modifying the noun or pronoun they are related to, and they help to add descriptive or identifying details to the sentence.
