1. OBJECT Adjective Clauses
(OAC)

2. Subject Adjective Pronouns
On the next slide, the relative pronouns (WHO, WHICH, THAT) make the action.
They are the SUBJECT.

3. Examples James has an expensive car that is very fast.
I know the child who lives next door.
I live in Cranbrook, which has a lot of amazing scenery.
Kelsey has a nephew who is a superstar.
My friend bought a house which is 3 years old.

4. Object Adjective Clauses (OAC)
However, the words
WHO
THAT
WHICH
WHOM
Can be the OBJECT, too!
I know the man who you punched.
Who did you punch? THE MAN!
COMPARE: I know the man who punched you!

5. Object Adjective Clauses (OAC)
The relative pronoun is talking about the noun before it, like with SAC.
However, the noun is now RECEIVING the action!
My friend bought a house which is 3 years old.
My friend bought a house which he then destroyed.

6. Object Adjective Clauses (OAC)
If you want, you can replace who with whom in OACs.
I saw the man who you punched.
I saw the man whom you punched.

7. MORE EXAMPLES I bought a pen which I lost.
I saw the lady who you kissed.
I know the teacher who you hate.
I understand the question which you asked.
I don’t trust the guy who you met.

8. PRACTICE TIME
Make sentences about your partner using objects on your desk and people in the classroom.
Ex: “This is the pen that Cindy broke.”
Be very careful to make OBJECT ADJECTIVE CLAUSES ONLY! The noun must RECEIVE the action!
