3. A. Definition of adjective clause
In an adjective clause, a full subject and predicate
is changed by means of a special introductory word
wich has the same referent as the preceding noun or
pronoun.

pronoun. The noun or pronoun being modified is
called antecedent.

antecedent that the introductory word refers to.

3. The small town where they were to leave yesterday.
Note :
why may be interchangeable with that or it may be ommited.
Some grammarians cosider such a clause as a noun clause in
apposition with word reason.
when or where may be interchangeable with a preposition of
place plus which.
Sometimes that replace where or when.

7. D. Position of Adjective Clause
The normal position of adjective clause is immediately
after the noun or pronoun to which it refers. However,
sometimes a prepositional phrase or a participal phrase
may interven. He greeted all his old friends from Paris,
who were delighted to see him again. Where such a
phrase intervenes, the antecedent of the adjective clause
may be ambiguous. For example, in the sentence: The
dean wrote to the parents of the students who had
helped with thw annual carnival, it is not clear whether
the antecedent of who is the parents or the students.

8. Occasionally an adjective clause referring to the subject comes after the
verb, especially when the antecedent is a pronoun. For example: everyone
came who could afford the price of the ticket. Such a construction may
have a literary or even an archaic flavor:
All’s well that ends well. (shakespeare)
He prayeth best who loveth best. (coleridge)

police.
2. Time : the day when he could leave prison finaly arrived.
3. Place : there’s the house where I used to live.
4. Contrast : our teacher, who is very strict with us in class, is very
