What are adjective and noun clauses introduced by?

Answer 1

An adjective clause is a clause with one or more adjectives, which modifies a noun. An adjective clause begins with a relative pronoun (such as who, that, which) or a relative adverb (who, where, when).

Answer 2

Adjective clauses are subordinate clauses that have a subject and a predicate, and they act as adjectives, meaning they modify nouns.

Example: In the above sentence, meaning they modify nounsis an adjective clause modifying the noun adjectives.

Adverb clauses are subordinate clauses that act as adverbs, meaning they modify verbs, adjectives, or other adverbs.

Example: "Because they are adverb clauses, they can modify a lot of things.

In the above sentence, Because they are adverb clauses is an adverb clause modifying the verb phrase can modify.

Noun clauses are subordinate clauses that act as nouns. Noun clauses can function as subjects, direct objects, indirect objects, objects of the preposition, or predicate nominatives.

Example: Whoever owns the red car just got arrested.

In the above sentence, Whoever owns the red car is a noun clause acting as the subject. If I were to take that noun clause out, the independent clause would no longer have a subject, and it would be just a lonely fragment.

Noun clauses are completely necessary in a sentence. Adjective and adverb clauses can be taken out of the sentence without changing the sentence's meaning.
