You know that housework is not
my favorite thing to do. Well,
guess what? I am not alone.
According to the article…

housework is something that
most people don’t like to do. In
fact, there’s a holiday for people
who don’t like housework!
“No house work day” is a special

day that takes place on April 7th.
It’s for anyone that wants to take
a break from dusting, vacuuming
or washing the dishes.
Let’s look at these sentences:

We use adjective clauses to identify or
describe people:
describes “people”
describes “anyone”
Notice: we can introduce adjective clauses
about people with who or that.
Now look at these sentences:
In these sentences, we use adjective clauses to identify or describe things.
describes something—
housework
Describes a special
day “No Housework
Day”
Notice: we can introduce adjective clauses about things
with that. We cannot use who.

I went to a dinner party last night.
It was great! The people who gave
the party were excellent cooks.
The guests who they invited were
really interesting. I hope I can go
to the next party that they give.
Let´s look at first sentence:

In this sentence, the clause who gave the
party is an adjective clause.
It modifies, or describes “the people”.
In this adjective clause, the relative pronoun.

“who” is the subject of the verb gave.
Remember that when the relative pronoun is

the subject of the verb in the adjective clause,
we can use the relative pronouns who or
that for people.
We use that for things.

We can say:
Or
Now let's look at the next two sentences.

In this sentence the clause “who they invited”
is also an adjective clause. It modifies, or
describes, the word guests.
Here though, the relative pronoun who is

the object of the verb invited.
When the relative pronoun is the object of the verb in the adjective clause, we
can use the relative pronouns who, that, or whom for people.
For example, we can say:
Or
We can also use whom for people when the relative pronoun is the object of
the verb in the clause.
Whom is more formal. We usually use
whom in academic writing & business
letters & who in speaking.
In this sentence, the clause “that they

give” is an adjective clause also. It
modifies, or describes, the word party.
The relative pronoun that is the object of

the verb give.
Notice that we can use only that since
party is a thing and not a person.
When the relative pronoun is the object
of the clause, it may be omitted.
For example, we can omit the word who

from the sentence. And say:
Thought groups make a long sentence easier to
say and easier to understand. Listen:
