- Adjective Clauses The adjective clause is used to modify a noun or a pronoun. It will begin with a relative pronoun (who, whose, whom, which, and that) or a subordinate conjunction (when and where). Those are the only words that can be used to introduce an adjective clause. The introductory word will always rename the word that it follows and modifies except when used with a preposition which will come between the introductory word and the word it renames. Examples: The student whose hand was up gave the wrong answer. Whose hand was up is the adjective clause with whose, the relative pronoun, renaming and modifying student. Jane is a person in whom I can place my confidence. In whom I can place my confidence is the adjective clause with whom, the relative pronoun, with the preposition in between it andperson, the word that whom renames and modifies. Using the various kinds of clauses as with the use of the verbals can give variety to your sentences. Adjective clauses can be used that way. Instructions: Combine the following sentences using an adjective clause using the introductory words who, whose, whom, which, that, when and where. 1. The doctor examined the patient. The patient had fallen from a cliff. 2. The mechanic repaired my sister's car. The car had a warped block. 3. The restaurant had closed permanently. The customers were shot there. 4.

7. Parts of the Sentence - Noun Clauses A noun clause is a dependent clause that can be used in the same way as a noun or pronoun. It can be a subject, predicate nominative, direct object, appositive, indirect object, or object of the preposition. Some of the words that introduce noun clauses are that, whether, who, why, whom, what, how, when, whoever, where, andwhomever. Notice that some of these words also introduce adjective and adverb clauses. (To check a noun clause substitute the pronoun it or the proper form of the pronouns he or she for the noun clause.) Examples: I know who said that. (I know it.) Whoever said it is wrong. (He is wrong.) Sometimes a noun clause is used without the introductory word. Example: I know that he is here. (I know he is here.)
