A. Presentation
I am going to group you into two. What

you are going to do is to complete the thought
of the given paragraph by choosing the most
appropriate word for each blank.
After Caroline died, Francis Answers:

1.______sister had arrived to help seemed 1. Whose
to go about in a trance. This sister 2. Who
2.______was named Irene did her best to 3. Which
perform the duties 3._______Caroline had 4. Who
carried out; however, Francis 5. Where
4._______scarcely noticed her acted like a 6. Who
ghost and went to his laboratory 5. 7. Which
_______he isolated himself. Irene 8. Who

When Francis did come to dinner, he was 10. which

children. One day, Zaphanie was crying
miserably, so Diana 8.______was
unnoticed by Francis took her to her own
laboratory to amuse her. The following day
9.________was a Saturday Diana took
Zaphanie for a walk in a park
10.______was nearby.
Okay, Now that we completed the

paragraph, I want you look at it closely. Look
at the underlined parts of the paragraph. Do
they make sense if we are going to deal with No
them one by one?
Yes, very good. They don’t make sense

on their own but when used in sentences they
mean something. They need other set of words
to function.
Since they don’t make sense it means Clauses/Dependent clauses

that they are not sentences, what do we call
them then? Sometimes, these clauses are also
called subordinate clauses and they
What are dependent clauses, again? don’t have a complete thought.
One of the functions of these dependent

clauses is to act as an adjective in a sentence.
In this case they are called “Adjective
Clauses”. They are used to modify the noun.
Irene did her best to perform the duties

which Caroline had carried out.
In this example, the adjective clause modifies

or describes the noun “duties”
B. Analysis
Okay, let’s have these adjective clauses.
1. whose sister had arrived to help

2. who was named Irene
3. which Caroline had carried out
4. who scarcely noticed her
5. where he isolated himself
6. who rarely saw him
7. which scared the children
8. who was unnoticed by Francis
9. which was a Saturday They begin with pronouns.
10. which was nearby
How are the adjective clauses above

written? Whose, who, which, and where
Very good! They begin with pronouns. Interrogative pronoun
What are the pronouns used?
And what do we call these pronouns?

No
Yes, whose, who, which and where are
called interrogative pronouns when they are
used in sentences in interrogative form but are
these pronouns used in the paragraph to ask
questions?
In this case, they are called “relative

pronouns”. The reason why adjective clauses
may also be called relative clauses.
Aside from relative pronouns, adjective

clauses may also begin with a relative adverb
such as “where”. Relative Pronoun
Let’s have the first adjective phrase.
Subject
whose sister had arrived to help
“Whose” is an example of what? had
How about The word “sister”, how Verb, specifically a be-verb.

does it function?
What word follows?
What part of speech is had?
Yes, very good! And it is followed by

the word arrived which is an action
verb. Relative Pronoun
How about this one:

which scared the children Verb
“Which” is an example of what?
If “which” is a relative pronoun in this

adjective clause “scared” is what?
Very good! As you can see the first one

is composed of a Relative pronoun+ Subject+
Verb while on the second one, there are only
Relative pronoun + verb.
That is because the relative pronoun

“which” on the second adjective clause
functions as the subject.
Now, let’s have this sentence:

Yes
After Caroline died, Francis whose
sister had arrived to help seemed to go
about in a trance.
Look at this sentence. Can we remove the

adjective clause without affecting the thought
of the sentence?
Yes, we can. This type of adjective clause
is called “Non restrictive adjective clause”.
If a nonrestrictive adjective clause is

removed from a sentence, the meaning of the
No
main clause does not change.
How about this one:
Because it will affect the thought of the

Irene did her best to perform the duties sentence.
which Caroline had carried out.
Can we remove the adjective clause?
Yes and this type of adjective clause is called

“restrictive adjective clause”.
If a restrictive adjective clause is removed

from a sentence, the meaning of the main
clause changes.
C. Generalization
ADJECTIVE CLAUSE
 It is dependent clause that functions as
an adjective in the sentence.
 It can also be called relative clause or
adjectival.
 It begins with a relative pronoun or a
relative adverb.
List of Relative Pronouns:
Who-- used for humans in the

subject position
Whom-- used for humans in the
object position
Which-- used for things and
animals in the subject or object
position
That-- used for humans,
animals and things, in the
subject or object position
Whose-- used for humans,
animals and things in the
subject or object position to
show possession
List of Relative Adverbs:

When- Refers to a time (in +
year, in + month, on + day,...).
Where- Refers to a place (in +
country, in + city, at +
school,...).
Why- Refers to reason
 It always contains both a subject and a

verb:
Relative Pronoun or Adverb +
Subject + Verb
Relative Pronoun as Subject +
Verb
 It has two main types:
RESTRICTIVE ADJECTIVE
CLAUSE
 It contains information
that is necessary to
identify the noun it
modifies.
 is not separated from the
main clause by a comma
or commas.
* If a restrictive adjective clause

is removed from a sentence, the
meaning of the main clause
changes.
NONRESTRICTIVE ADJECTIVE
CLAUSE
 It gives additional
information about the
noun it modifies but is
not necessary to identify
that noun.
 This type of clause is
separated from the main
clause by a comma or
commas.
 The relative pronoun
“that” cannot be used in
this type adjective
clause.
* If a nonrestrictive adjective
clause is removed from a
sentence, the meaning of the
main clause does not change.
