Adjective Clause

   Adjective Clause is a clause that modify or change the noun.
   Example :
    1. The girl who is standing next to me is my sister. (Gadis yang berdiri disebelah adalah saudara          perempuanku)
=> Examples of Adjective clause by using the Relative Pronoun can be seen in the following table:
