ADJECTIVE
CLAUSE
An adjective clause is a clause that describe a word
or a group of words in another clause. Adjective clauses are often part of a
complex sentence.
Recognize an adjective clause when you see one.
An adjective
clause—also called an adjectival or relative clause—will meet
three requirements:
·
Next, it
will begin with a relative pronoun [who, whom,
whose, that, or which] or a relative adverb [when, where,
or why].
·
Finally, it
will function as an adjective, answering
the questions What kind? How
many? or Which one?
The
adjective clause will follow one of these two patterns:
relative
pronoun or adverb + subject + verb
relative
pronoun as subject + verb
Adjective Clauses use that,who,whom,and which to begin the clause :
-
Who, used for humans in subject position
-
Who (m), used for humans in object position
-
Which used for things and animals in subject or object
position.
-
That, use for humans,animal,and things,in subject or
object position.
-
When, used for preposition (in,on,at)
-
Where, use for place(s)
-
Whose is used to indicate ownership.
