** Adjective/Relative Clause:
>An adjective clause usually comes after the noun it modifies and is made up of several words which, like all clauses, will include a subject and a verb.
- My dog, who usually refuses to go near the water, dived in the canal to chase a water vole. (In this example, the clause acts like an adjective.)
- The carpets which you bought last year have gone moldy.
- The film which you recommended scared the kids half to death.
- The follies which a man regrets most in his life are those which he didn’t commit when he had the opportunity.
- Bore: a person who talks when you wish him to listen.
>An adjective clause will have the following three traits:
- It will start with a relative pronoun (who, whom, whose, that, or which) or a relative adverb (when, where, or why)
- It will have a subject and a verb.
- It will tell us something about the noun.
>Look at the traits in this example:
>Quite often, the relative pronoun is the subject of the clause.
