Adjective Clause
     Adjective clause is a clause that functions as a adjective. As we have seen, adjectives are words that describe nouns. Thus, it also serves as an adjective clause, which gives details on the noun. Adjective clauses beginning with relative pronoun or relative adverb.
Here are some examples of adjective clause:

A. Adjective clause with relative pronoun
Example: The Man Who is sitting over there is my father.
The book the which you bought yesterday is very interesting.
This is the place that i visited some years ago.
Mr. Edi Whose son is my friend is presenting a paper in a seminar.

B. With a relative adjective adverb clause:
Example:
This is the reason why she did it.
The time when the plane takes off and lands will be changed soon.
Palembang is the place where I was born.

In the examples above we can see that the adjective describes the noun clause is in front of him (antecedent).
For example:
Adjective clause Who is sitting over there to explain the noun man.
Adjective clause why she did it explain the reason nouns.

Adjective clause is used to provide information, identity, and other information to the noun (antecedent). The Adjective Clause structure is characterized by relative pronouns, namely: who, whom, Whose, which, when, where, why, and that.

Who: used for people in the position of the subject (human as subject).
Whom: used for people in the position of the object (human as object).
Which: used for objects, either in subject or object position (non-human as subject / object).
That: is used as a substitute who, whom, or which.
Whose: used for ownership. When: used for time.
Why: is used to cause.
Example:
My English teacher is the man WHO Is standing near the pillar.
The house where I live is being rdwvated.

Adjective clause is divided into two kinds, namely:
1. Important (defining) adjective clause, adjective clause is that is important information for the antecedent.
2. Unimportant (undefining) adjective clause, adjective clause is that the information that is important for the antecedent.
Example:
Important: Bob's brother That (WHO) lives in New York is an actor.
Meaning: Bob has more than one brother.
Unimportant: Bob's brother, WHO lives in New York is an actor.
Meaning: Bob has only one brother.

Note: 
Important in the adjective clause, relative pronoun, such as: who, whom, the which can be replaced with That, while the adjective clause is not unimportant.
