The Adjective Clause
1 THE Adjective Clause Recognize an Adjective Clause when you see one. 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: RE L A T I V E PR O N O U N OR AD V E R B + SU B J E C T + VERB RE L A T I V E PR O N O U N AS SU B J E C T + VERB Here are some examples: W h o s e b i g , b r o w n e y e s p l e a d e d f o r a n o t h e r c o o k i e Whose = relative pronoun; eyes = subject; pleaded = verb.
