Adjective clause is a dependent clause which takes the place of an
adjective in another clause or phrase. The goal of an adjective clause is to
add more information to a noun or a pronoun
Adjective clauses begin with one of the
relative pronouns such as :
1.
Who : Used for humans in
subject position.
Example : The lady who teaches in Political Science department is my mentor.
2.
Whom : Used for humans in
object position.
Example
: The doctor whom you see in the
room is my father
3.
Which : Used only for things or animals in both subject or object of the clause
Example
: The dress which Melati bought was expensive
4.
That : Used for humans,
animals, or things, in subject or object position (less formal than whom and which)
Example
: The lion that
escaped last night was captured
5.
Whose : Used to show possession/ownership of an object
Example
: They know the person whose car was broken last night
6. When : Refers to a time
(in + year, in + month, on + day,...). It cannot be a subject
Example : I will never forget
the day when I
graduated
7. Where : Used to describe the noun place (country, city, building, house, room, street, and so on)
Example : I love the beach where you brought me last year
Problem:
Still confused to distinguish between an adjective clause and noun clause
