Relativsätze (Relative Clauses)

Relative clauses are used to describe a noun in more detail — like English relative clauses with 'who/which/that', but in German they are always set off by commas and the verb goes to the end. This structure lets you build one fluent, informative sentence instead of two short ones, which is why it's an essential part of written and spoken German from B1 on.
