12. What is an adjective clause? Adjective clauses are introduced by the following words: who, whom, whose, which, that, where, or when. These words refer directly to the noun being described by the clause.
13. What is an adjective clause? Who People (subject) I know the designer who created the space. Whom People (object) The designer whom we researched is a Pritzker Prize winner. Whose People/Things (possessive) The architect whose concept was chosen is from Korea. Which Things (subject/object) The materials which were used for the design are all natural. That People/Things (subject/object) The best project is one that follows the directions for the assignment. Where Place (adverb) She doesn’t know the floor where the International Student Office is. When Time (adverb) The teacher is reminding the students about the day when the projects are due.
14. Adjective Clauses Use who or that to refer to people. I have a friend who got an internship. I have a friend that got an internship.
15. Adjective Clauses Use which or that to refer to places or things. New York is a city, which attracts lots of tourists. New York is a city that attracts lots of tourists.
18. Adjective Clauses Use whose + noun to show possession or relationship. She’s the student whose project was selected for the Spring Show.
19. Adjective Clauses BE CAREFUL! Do not use subject pronouns (I, you, he, she, it, we, they) and a subject relative pronoun in the same adjective clause. Pat is someone who he never forgets to use only English during class.
20. Adjective Clauses The verb in the adjective clause is singular if the subject relative pronoun refers to a singular noun. It is plural if it refers to a plural noun. Ben is my friend who is taking Studio 1. Al and Ed are my friends who are taking Studio 1.
21. Adjective Clauses Notice how we can leave out the relative pronoun if it is the object of the adjective clause. This is very common. • Did you like the present (which) I gave you? • Who was that man (whom) you were talking to? • The thing (that) I like about Dave is his sense of humor.
22. Adjective Clauses We cannot leave out the pronoun if it is the subject of the clause. • I met a man who works in advertising. • I'll lend you the book that changed my life. • The thing that helped me most was knowing I wasn't alone.
23. Adjective Clauses Sentences with adjective clauses can be seen as a combination of 2 sentences. Example: I have an assignment. It is due on Monday. I have an assignment, which is due on Monday.
24. Summary • The adjective clause goes immediately after the noun it describes (modifies). • Where and When are never the subject of a clause. They are always followed by a noun or a pronoun. • Whose is always followed by a noun. • The verb in the adjective clause must agree in number with the noun it modifies.
