Relative Clauses
A relative clause—also called an
adjective or adjectival clause—will meet three requirements.
·
First,
it will contain a subject and verb.
·
Next,
it will begin with a relative pronoun [who, whom, whose, that, or which] or a
relative adverb [when, where, or why].
·
Finally,
it will function as an adjective, answering the questions What kind? How many?
or Which one?
The relative clause will follow
one of these two patterns:
relative
pronoun or adverb + subject + verb
relative pronoun as subject + verb
Here are some examples:
1. Which
Francine did not accept
Which
= relative pronoun; Francine = subject; did accept = verb [not, an adverb, is
not officially part of the verb].
2. Where
George found Amazing Spider-Man #96 in fair condition
Where = relative adverb; George =
subject; found = verb.
3. That
dangled from the one clean bathroom towel
That = relative pronoun
functioning as subject; dangled = verb.
4. Who
continued to play video games until his eyes were blurry with fatigue
Who = relative pronoun
functioning as subject; played = verb.
