Adjective Clauses

 An adjective clause is a subordinate clause that modifies a noun or pronoun.  An adjective clause may begin with a relative pronoun (who, whom, that, or which) or the word where or when.  An adjective clauses normally follows the word it modifies.

Adjective Clauses  Examples: Magazines that inform and entertain are my favorites. Several writers whom I admire contribute to magazines. The store where I buy magazines sponsors readings by contributors.  What words do these adjective clauses modify?

Adjective Clauses  Sometimes the relative pronoun is dropped from the beginning of the adjective clause: National Geographic is the magazine I like best. (Adjective clause without pronoun that.)  If an adjective clause is necessary to the meaning of the sentence, it does not get set off with commas.  A necessary adjective clause is called a restrictive clause.  An unnecessary adjective clause is called a nonrestrictive clause.

Adjective Clauses  Examples: Magazines that have no substance bore me. (restrictive clause) James Thurber, who was a famous humorist, wrote in The New Yorker. (nonrestrictive clause)  As a general rule the pronoun that is used for restrictive clauses and the pronoun which is for non restrictive clauses. Magazines that include art and literature are interesting and educational. The New Yorker, which includes fiction and poetry, competes with Vanity Fair.

Exercise  Identify the adjective clauses and the word they modify. 1. Mike, whose ancestors came from Ireland, marched in the St. Patrick's Day parade. 2. The woman who lives next door is a registered nurse. 3. Williamsburg, Virginia, is a place that I'd like to visit. 4. Math, which is Dave's favorite subject, has always been easy for him. 5. There is the house that I'd like to buy. 6. Larry's letter, which he mailed Tuesday, reached me on Thursday. 7. Summer, which is my favorite season, will be here in another week. 8. Newton, Iowa, is the town where Barbara was born. 9. That dog that you found belongs to the Olsens. 10. There is a chance that Norm will win the election.
