ADJECTIVE CLAUSE


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 [whowhomwhosethat, or which] or a relative adverb [whenwhere, 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 adverb + subject + verb
relative pronoun as subject + verb
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 across 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.

 Here are several examples of sentences with the adjective clauses underlined:
  • Pizza, which most people love, is not very healthy.
  • The people whose names are on the list will go to camp.
  • Grandpa remembers the old days when there was no television
  • Fruit that is grown organically is expensive.
  • Students who are intelligent get good grades.
  • Eco-friendly cars that run on electricity save gas.
  • I know someone whose father served in World War II.
  • Making noise when he eats is the main reason why Sue does not like to eat with her brother.
  • The kids who were called first will have the best chance of getting a seat.
  • Running a marathon, a race of twenty-six miles, takes a lot of training.
  • I enjoy telling people about Janet Evanovich whose latest book was fantastic.
  • The people waiting all night outside the Apple store are trying to purchase a new iPhone.
  • "He who can no longer pause to wonder and stand rapt in awe is as good as dead." - Albert Einstein
  • “Those who do not complain are never pitied.” - Jane Austen
  • “People demand freedom of speech to make up for the freedom of thought which they avoid.” - Søren Kierkegaard
  • “Never go to a doctor whose office plants have died.” - Erma Bombeck
