Adjective Clause



Adjective Clause

An adjective clause is a dependent clause that contains a subject and a verb. It describes, identifies, or gives further information about a noun. 

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 or a relative adverb 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 are introduced by the following words:  who, whom, whose, which, that, where.
