    Adjective Clause

    Uploaded by

    Eamon Barkhordarian
    An adjective clause modifies a noun and contains a subject and verb. It begins with a relative pronoun like who, whom, whose, that, or which or a relative adverb like when, where, or why. The clause follows the noun and functions like an adjective to answer what kind, how many, or which one. It can take the form of a relative pronoun or adverb followed by a subject and verb, or just a relative pronoun functioning as the subject followed by a verb.

    Adjective Clauses

    An adjective clause--also called an adjectival or relative clause--will meet three


    requirements. First, it will contain a subject and verb. 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 Relative Adverb] + Subject + Verb = Incomplete


    Thought

    Relative Pronoun [Functioning as Subject] + Verb = Incomplete Thought

    Here are some examples:

    Whose big, brown eyes pleaded for another cookie

    Whose = relative pronoun | eyes = subject | pleaded = verb

    Why Fred cannot stand sitting across from his sister Melanie

    Why = relative adverb | Fred = subject | can stand = verb [not, an adverb, is not
    officially part of the verb]

    That bounced onto the kitchen floor

    That = relative pronoun functioning as subject | bounced = verb

    Who hiccupped for seven hours afterward

    Who = relative pronoun functioning as subject | hiccupped = verb
