In defining relative clauses (clauses that are essential to the sentence and do not simply add extra information) that can be used for things and people Example : The car which I drive is old.
Example : I looked for the man who borrowed me money IC Rel. Clause The table which was made of oak wood has broken. Rel.Clause
