While adjectives are used before the name they describe, ‘adjective clause‘ comes after the name it defines. For example:

• Today, I saw a blue car which was parked in front of my car.

Note 1: Half sentence comes after Who, whom and which; that is, these words decrease the subject or object after them. Note that in some cases there are half sentences.

Note 2: The full sentence comes after where, when and why.

Note 3: Unless there is a comma and preposition on the left; It can be used in place of who, whom, which, when and why. Note that in Adjective clause sentences, that doesn’t come after commas and prepositions.
