Fill in the correct Adjective Clause from the given options to complete the sentence:
I shall use the same perfume ________ my friend bought yesterday.
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
The correct answer is Option (3) → That
Complete sentence: I shall use the same perfume that my friend bought yesterday. "That my friend bought yesterday" describes the noun perfume, and "that" is the object of "bought".
| Option | Form and use | Example |
|---|---|---|
| (1) Why | "Why" is used after a noun of reason (the reason why). Perfume is not a reason. | – |
| (2) What | "What" means the thing which and is never used after a noun. "The perfume what my friend bought" is ungrammatical. | – |
| (3) That (answer) | An adjective clause describes a noun and is joined to it by a relative pronoun: who, which, that. For things, which or that is used. After "the same", "that" (or "as") is the usual choice. | This is the same pen that I lost last week. |
| (4) When | "When" is used after a noun of time (the day when). Perfume is not a time. | – |
Contrast: "that" or "which" follows a noun for a thing, "when" a noun of time and "why" a noun of reason. "What" never follows a noun.
