Adjective Clause

Adjective clause

An adjective clause—also called an adjectival 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 questions such as: What kind? How many? or Which one?

The adjective clause will follow one of these two patterns:

• Relative Pronoun [or Relative Adverb] + Subject + Verb = Dependent Clause

• Relative Pronoun [Functioning as Subject] + Verb = Dependent Clause

Examples include:

Whose big, brown eyes pleaded for another cookie
Word Class	Word
Relative Pronoun	Whose
Subject	eyes
Verb	pleaded

Why Fred cannot stand sitting across from his sister Melanie
Word Class	Word
Relative Adverb	Why
Subject	Fred
Verb	Can stand

That bounced onto the kitchen floor
Word Class	Word
Relative Pronoun	that
Verb	Bounced

Who hiccuped for seven hours afterward
Word Class	Word
Relative Pronoun	Who
Verb	Hiccuped

Adjective Clause Sentences:

( When we use who / that in a relative clause when we are talking about people.)

Example,

• We are Seeking a Transpot Manager.

• A Transport manager will be responsible for coordinating the effective movement of the Palm Oil And kernel we produce from our Mill at the estate to our Bulking Facility near Samarinda.

• We are seeking a Transport Manager who will be responsible for coordinating the effective movement of the Palm Oil and Kernel we produce from our Mill at the estate to our Bulking facility near Samarinda.

The clauses in italics are adjectives clauses. An adjective clause is a dependent clause that modifies a noun. It describes, identifies or gives further information about a noun.

( An adjective clause is also called a relative clause.)
