Relative Clause
Relative clauses are clauses starting with the relative pronouns who*, that, which, whose, where, when. They are most often used to define or identify the noun that precedes them

• First, it will contain a subject and verb
• Next, it'll begin with a relative pronoun (Who, whom, whose, that, or which) or a relative adverb (When, where, or why)
• Finally, it will function as a adjective, answering the question What kind? How many? or Which One?

The relative clause will follow one of these two patterns : 

1. Relative Pronoun or Adverb + Subject + Verb
2. Relative Pronoun as Subject + Verb

Here are some examples 

• Who played video games until his eyes were blurry with fatigue
• Who = Relative pronoun functioning as object; Played = Verb
• Which francine didn't accept
• Which = Relative Pronoun; Francine = Subject; did accept = Verb (Not an adverb, is not officially part of the verb)
• That dangled from the one clean bathroom towel
• That = Relative pronoun functioning as subject; dangled = Verb
• Where George found Amazing Spiderman #96 in fair condition
• Where = Relative adverb; George = Subject; Found = Verb
