An adjective clause, also known as a relative clause, is a group of words with a subject and a verb that describes a noun.

The relative word shows the exact link between the noun and the action in the clause.

Plural of moose: one animal or several
Moose refers to a very large member of the deer family native to northern forests.

The form meese is not an accepted standard word, even though English learners sometimes invent it by analogy with goose and geese.

John and I or John and me: Which Pronoun Fits?
The pronoun 'I' works as a subject. It names who carries out an action or who is described by the verb, whether alone or with someone else. The pronoun 'me' works as an object. It names who receives an action, who receives an item, or who follows a preposition such as 'for' or 'with'. When you link John to yourself with 'and', the pair functions as a single grammatical unit in the sentence.

Both forms point to time after the present moment, but each one shows how you present the action. A decision happens while you speak.

Predictions describe what you expect to happen, either from your general knowledge or from visible signs in front of you.
