USES

"A relative clause is one kind of dependent clause. It has a subject and verb, but can't stand alone as a sentence. It is sometimes called an “adjective clause” because it functions like an adjective—it gives more information about a noun"

"We use relatives clauses to add information about the person, thing or place we are talking about so that we don't need to repeat the subject"
