A clause is a group of words that contains both a subject and a verb but cannot always be considered a full, grammatical sentence.
An adjective clause, also called a relative clause, modifies the noun or pronoun preceding it. The noun or pronoun that it modifies is called the antecedent. The clause will start with a relative pronoun (who, whom, which, that, where, whose, whoever).
Examples:
- The man who lives next door has a nice garden. (the relative clause describes the noun 'man')
- I come from a town that is about two hours west of Boston. (the relative clause describes the noun 'town')
- The one whose car is blocking the driveway better move it. (the relative clause describes the indefinite pronoun 'one')
