Adjective clauses

Examples
Adjective clauses begin with who, which, or that.
They always follow the noun they describe
Note that…
We use commas when the adjective clauses present extra information:
My friend, who is standing there, is funny.
Apple company, which is a big company, is in USA.
Wild animals, that live in wilderness, are dangerous
Comma usage
If the adjective clause give necessary information about the noun we don’t use commas.

No comma needed
