<p>In addition to <a href="Modifying_nouns_with_adjective_+_de"
title="wikilink">linking adjectives to nouns</a>, 的 (de) can also
be used to link a whole phrase to a noun, making the already useful
的 (de) even more useful.</p>
<h2 id="structure">Structure</h2>
<p>As well as <a href="Modifying_nouns_with_adjective_+_de" title=
"wikilink">attaching adjectives to nouns</a>, 的 (de) can be used to
attach whole phrases to nouns. In English this is often achieved
with "who" or "that." For example, "the man who went to Beijing" or
"the book that I bought yesterday."</p>
