DEFINISI RELATIVE CLAUSE.
Definition:
A clause that generally modifies a noun or noun phrase and is introduced by a relative pronoun (which, that, who, whom, whose), a relative adverb (where, when, why), or a zero relative. Also known as an adjective clause.
A relative clause is a postmodifier--that is, it follows the noun or noun phrase it modifies.
