3. Relative clauses:
 Who: is used for a person
 Which: is used for an object/ animal
 Must be followed immediately after the subject it refers to
 e.g. Mr Lee is a teacher. He works in Shatin.
Mr Lee, who works in Shatin, is a teacher.
 Add commas if you know the subject (without the relative clause)
 You know who Mr Lee is – even without ‘works in Shatin’.
 e.g.
I bought a new car. It cost $ 400,000.
I bought a new car which cost 400,000.

This time, we don’t know which new car you are talking about, we need the
clause “cost $400,000”
