Adjective clauses / relative pronouns

Name _________________________________

Combine these sentences using an adjective clause. If there are two possible answers, write both.

Note: if the adjective clause is "optional" (the sentence makes sense without the clause), we usually put the clause inside commas. In addition, if an optional clause modifies a "thing", not a person, we start the optional clause with the relative pronoun "which".
