When should we use the attributive clauses?Instructions: When we want to specify which person or thing we mean, or when we want to add some detailed information to someone or something that we are describing, we can use a complex sentence which contains one or more attributive clauses.Look at the examples below:(1)Which baby is Jack?The baby whose trousers are red is Jack.The baby who is wearing red trousers is Jack.(2)Which house is mine?The house whose roof is brown is mine.The house the roof of which is brown is mine.2.

In this case, we can use a zero relative pronoun, e.g.Thats the man (who / that) I met at Allisons party.2. Complete the following sentences using that, which, who or whose.(1) Here are my neighbours whose home was destroyed by the earthquake.(2) The terrible shaking of the building woke up all the people who were asleep.(3) The next day people put up shelters in the open air made with anything (that) they could find.
