    > IC : Sigit is crazyboy
    > DC : Gery hate him so much
    Sigit, whom Gery hate so much, is crazyboy

3. Which : used for things and animals in subject or object position.
    Example :
    > IC : Fres has a dragon
    > DC : It like eat Fruits
    - Fresh has a tiger which like eat Fruits

4. That : used for humans, animals, and things, in subject or object position.
    Example :
    > IC : Kevin is eating a rice

There are two main kinds of adjective clause :
1. Non-defining clauses : give extra information about the noun, but they are not essential.
    Example : Broccoli, which people often leave uneaten, is very nutritious.

2. Defining clauses : give essential information about the noun.
    Example : The vegetables that people leave uneaten are often the most nutritious.
