What is an "adjective clause"?
An adjective clause is a dependent clause that describes or modifies a noun in a sentence, providing additional information about that noun. This type of clause typically begins with a relative pronoun such as "who," "which," or "that." For example, in the sentence "The book that she borrowed is on the table," the adjective clause "that she borrowed" modifies the noun "book" by giving more detail about it. Adjective clauses can be essential for adding clarity and specificity to sentences, helping to convey more precise meanings and enhancing the overall richness of language.
