Adjective clause pronouns used as the object of a verb


Example
Explanation
 The man was Mr. Junes.
 I saw him.
             a.       The man who(m) I saw was Mr.       Junes.
             b.      The man that I saw was Mr. Junes.
             c.       The man I was Mr. Junes.


The adjective clause pronouns are placed at the beginning of the clause.
 The snacks aren’t very delicious.
 We ate it yesterday in the movie.
            a.       The snacks which we ate yesterday in the movie aren’t delicious.
            b.      The snacks that we ate yesterday in the movie aren’t delicious.
          c.       The snacks we ate yesterday in the movie aren’t delicious.


As object pronoun is often omitted from an adjective clause. (a subject pronoun, however, may not be omitted).
