Adjective Clause

Remember that some types of clauses are dependent, meaning that they
cannot stand alone. They do not express a complete thought. Sometimes, these
clauses are also called subordinate clauses. A dependent clause,
or subordinate clause, can function in three ways in a sentence: as a noun, as
an adjective, or as an adverb.
An adjective clause is a dependent clause that functions as an adjective in the
sentence. Adjective clauses can also be called relative clauses.
An adjective clause begins with a relative pronoun or a relative adverb.
Often the relative pronoun or relative adverb will function as thesubject of the
clause. Here is a list of relative pronouns:
who whom which that whose
Here is a list of relative adverbs:
when why where

How to find an adjective clause:

1) A dependent clause in a sentence will always contain both a subject and a
verb. Make sure that when you find something you think is a clause that it does
have a subject and a verb.
2) An adjective clause will begin with a relative pronoun or a relative adverb.
Does the clause that you found begin with one of those?
3) Finally, does the clause answer the same types of questions that an adjective
answers? Does it tell you which one, what kind, or how many? Does it give you
more information about a noun or pronoun that comes before it? If so, then you
have found an adjective clause.
