1. Adjective clause First, let’s remember that adjectives

modify (or describe) nouns and pronouns.

Example:

Intelligent students understand adjectives.

(The word "intelligent" is an adjective because it describes the noun "students.")

But adjectives are not always single words. Sometimes they are clauses: Example: Students who are intelligent understand adjectives.(The adjective clause is underlined. It is an "adjective" clause because it describes the noun "students.")

Remember A clause is a group of related words with a subject and verb. Adjective clauses are always dependent clauses. Adjective clauses, like adverb clauses, are introduced by dependent signals.

If you find yourself not caring a hoot in a far country about that, just remember that there are only five dependent signals which introduce adjective clauses. They are:

WhoWhomWhoseWhichThat

Therefore, I call these little devils (sorry, I mean these relative pronouns), double duty dependent signals. Again, the double duty dependent signals which introduce adjective clauses are:

WhoWhomWhoseWhichThat

2. Relative clause

A relative clause is a kind of subordinate clause, one of whose arguments shares a referent with a main clause element on which the subordinate clause is grammatically dependent.

relative pronoun

example who subject or object pronoun for people

I told you about the woman who lives next door. which subject or object pronoun for animals and things

Do you see the cat which is lying on the roof? which referring to a whole sentence

He couldn’t read which surprised me.

whose possession for people animals and things

Do you know the boy whose mother is a nurse? whom object pronoun for people, especially in non-defining relative clauses (in defining relative clauses we colloquially prefer who)

I was invited by the professor whom I met at the conference. that subject or object pronoun for people, animals and things in defining relative clauses (who or which are also possible)

I don’t like the table that stands in the kitchen.

Relative Adverbs A relative adverb can be used instead of a relative pronoun plus preposition.

This often makes the sentence easier to understand.This is the shop in which I bought my bike.→ This is the shop where I bought my bike.

relative adverbo when Meaning : in/on which use : refers to a time expression Example : day when we met himo where Meaning : in/on which use : refers to a place Example : the place where we met himo why Meaning : for which use : refers to a reason Example : the reason why we met him

Thus the discussion of our group.
