773 - Relative Clauses

Michael DiGiacomo Happy English
About this episode
This podcast, which I produce for you each week, is designed to help you improve your English. I’m sure that English learners who listen to the Happy English podcast can find something useful in each episode. Did you notice those relative clauses? 

In a nut shell, relative clauses are kind of like these little phrases that we add into our sentences to give us extra information about a noun. And they're really useful for like, adding detail and making your sentences more interesting.
