Adjectives modify nouns and pronouns to provide more information about them. Adjective clauses, on the other hand, are groups of words with a subject and a verb that function as an adjective to describe a noun or a pronoun in a sentence. Adjectives are usually single words, while adjective clauses are more complex and can stand alone as complete sentences.
Adjective clauses modify nouns and pronouns, typically starting with a relative pronoun (such as who, which, that). Adverb clauses modify verbs, adjectives, or other adverbs, often starting with subordinating conjunctions (such as because, although, if). Look for these clues to identify them in a sentence.

There does not seem to be any such classification of adjectives. There are conditional clauses in sentences, and those that use modal verbs (can/could, will/would).
