Adjective Clause

| Kamis, 28 November 2013

DEFINITION


An adjective clause is simply a group of words with a subject and a verb that provide a description. The clause starts with a pronoun such as who, whom, that, or which or an adverb such as when, where and why.


An adjective clause is a dependent clause that modifies a noun.  It is possible to combine the following two sentences to form one sentence containing an adjective clause: 


The children are going to visit the museum.
They are on the bus.


The children who are on the bus are going to visit the museum.
                  | adjective clause |





In the sentence above, there are two other ways to write the sentence correctly using the second sentence as the adjective clause. 


        The children that are on the bus are going to visit the museum.


        The children       on the bus       are going to visit the museum.



EXAMPLE:
Who
This morning he fought with a little guy who was his best friend.
Which
The fire which broke out in the warehouse swept through the factories.
When
Grandpa remembers the old days whenthere was no television. 
Where
The place where he flies his kites is very quiet.
Whom
She is the only cousin whom I enjoy talking to.
That
The package that arrived this morning is on the desk.
