Relative Clause (relative clause)

Meaning & usage

A relative clause is a full sentence placed directly before a noun to describe it, like a verb phrase acting as an adjective. The clause keeps its normal word order and particles, and the noun it modifies comes last. When the clause ends in a na-adjective or a noun, add な before the modified noun.
