Adjective Clauses

Adjective clauses are dependent clauses that modify nouns or pronouns. They are often introduced by the relative pronouns who, whom, whose, that, and which, or by when and where. Sentences with adjective clauses can be seen as a combination of two sentences.

1.) The man lives across the street from me.

2.) The man has a red car.


The man who lives across the street from me has a red car.

 

Remember that an adjective phrase is a group of words which doesn't have a subject and a verb. You can also combine two complete sentences by converting one of the sentences into an adjective phrase.
