ADJECTIVE CLAUSES

AN ADJECTIVE CLAUSE is a subordinate clause that modifies a noun or a pronoun.

Most adjective clauses begin with the words that, which, who, whom, and whose. Sometimes an adjective clause begins with an adverb, such as since, when, or where. Adjective clauses will directly follow the noun or pronoun that they modify and will answer the same questions as adjectives do.
