Adjective clause

ADJECTIVE CLAUSE PRONOUNS USED AS THE OBJECT OF A VERB
The man was Mr. Jones       I saw him (a)    The man who (m) i saw was Mr. Jones (b)   The man that       i saw  was Mr. Jones (c)    The man                i saw was Mr. Jones           The movie which we  wasn’t very good.            We saw it last night. (d)   The movie which we saw last night wasn’t very good (e)    The movie that we saw lastnight wasn;t very good (f)    The movie  we saw last night wasn’t very good	Notice in the examples: the adjective clause pronouns are placed at the beginning of the clause.
	In (a): who is usually used instead of whom, especially in speaking. Whom is generally used only in very formal english.
	In (c) and (f) : An object pronoun is often omitted from an adjective clause. (A subject pronoun, however, may not be omitted).
	Who (m) = used for people Which = used for things That = used for both people and things
(g)    INCORRECT :  The man who (m) i saw him was Mr. Jones. The man that i saw him was Mr. Jones. The man i saw him was Mr. Jones.	In (g): the pronoun him must be removed. It is unnecessary because who (m), that, or o functions as the object of the verb saw.

Usually how ever, i everyday usage, the prepositon comes after the subject and verb of the adjective clause, as in the other examples.
	Note : if the preposition comes at the beginning of the adjective clause, only whom or which may be used. A preposition is never immediately followed by that or who
