Grammar

Adjective Clauses
Remember that adjectives tell us more about nouns.
Ex: He has a beautiful cat. Beautiful is an adjective. It tells us
something about the cat (noun).
In the same way, an adjective clause, helps describe a noun in a
sentence. It functions as an adjective even though it is made up of a
group of words instead of just one word.
Ex: I saw the cat that he rescued last night.
The group of words “that he rescued last night” is an adjective clause.
In the case of an adjective clause, all the words work together to
modify the noun (the cat).

29. 29
More examples of adjective clauses:
The flowers that we picked up last week have died.
My friend, who has glasses, wasn't at school today.
The boy, who claimed to have a broken arm, caught the ball.
Bobby's cat that ate the mouse had a stomach ache.
The robber who broke into my house is in court today.

30. 30
How do I recognize an adjective clause?
In a sentence, adjective clauses:
a) are dependent clauses
(a group of words that consists of a subject and a verb,
yet do not form a complete sentence that can stand alone)
Ex: People who are smart follow the rules.
“Who are smart” – is not an independent clause, – it is a dependent
clause.
Source: https://grammar.yourdictionary.com/parts-of-speech/adjectives/adjective-clause.html

31. 31
How do I recognize an adjective clause?
In a sentence, adjective clauses:
b) generally start with a relative pronoun (ex: that, where, when, who,
whom, whose, which and why)
That is why adjective clauses are also called relative clauses.

32. 32
How do I recognize an adjective clause?
In a sentence, adjective clauses:
c) provide additional information about the noun
d) come after the noun they describe
