Words that modify nouns or pronouns are called adjectives. Adjectives are used to provide more information about the qualities or characteristics of the nouns or pronouns they describe.
Both nouns and pronouns are words for people or things. Both nouns and pronouns can be singular or plural. Both nouns and pronouns can be gender specific, common gender, or neuter. Both nouns and pronouns will function as the subject of a sentence or a clause, and as the object of a verb or a preposition.
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')
