Adjective clauses have a subject and a verb, just like any other type of clause. It is easy to recognise since they typically start with a relative pronoun such as <em>that, which, or who<\/em>.

It will have a verb and a subject which is used to explain more, about any noun or pronouns in the sentence. In simple terms, two sentences can be combined by using this clause.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-pale-ocean-gradient-background has-background\"><strong>For example<\/strong>: <em>\u201cThe man wearing a red suit is my father\u201d, \u201cHe lives in the house where I grew up.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img  loading=\"lazy\"  decoding=\"async\"  width=\"1024\"  height=\"576\"  src=\"data:image\/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAABAAAAAJAAQMAAAApW4aWAAAAA1BMVEUAAP+KeNJXAAAAAXRSTlMAQObYZgAAAAlwSFlzAAAOxAAADsQBlSsOGwAAAF5JREFUeNrtwQEBAAAAgiD\/r25IQAEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAO8GIk8AAbOpTZoAAAAASUVORK5CYII=\"  alt=\"Adjective Clause\"  class=\"wp-image-21873 pk-lazyload\"  data-pk-sizes=\"auto\"  data-ls-sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"  data-pk-src=\"https:\/\/cdnbloglearn.leverageedu.com\/explore\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Adjective-Clause-1024x576.webp\"  data-pk-srcset=\"https:\/\/blogassets.leverageedu.com\/media\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2024\/03\/22055500\/Adjective-Clause-1024x576.webp 1024w, https:\/\/blogassets.leverageedu.com\/media\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2024\/03\/22055500\/Adjective-Clause-300x169.webp 300w, https:\/\/blogassets.leverageedu.com\/media\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2024\/03\/22055500\/Adjective-Clause-768x432.webp 768w, https:\/\/blogassets.leverageedu.com\/media\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2024\/03\/22055500\/Adjective-Clause-1536x864.webp 1536w, https:\/\/blogassets.leverageedu.com\/media\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2024\/03\/22055500\/Adjective-Clause-380x214.webp 380w, https:\/\/blogassets.leverageedu.com\/media\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2024\/03\/22055500\/Adjective-Clause-800x450.webp 800w, https:\/\/blogassets.leverageedu.com\/media\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2024\/03\/22055500\/Adjective-Clause-1160x653.webp 1160w, https:\/\/blogassets.leverageedu.com\/media\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2024\/03\/22055500\/Adjective-Clause.webp 1920w\" ><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-pale-ocean-gradient-background has-background\"><strong>Also read:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/leverageedu.com\/blog\/what-are-clauses\/\"><strong>What are Clauses: Definition, Types<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"types-of-adjective-clauses\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Types of Adjective Clauses<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Based on the nature and behaviour of adjective clauses in sentences, they are divided into two different types:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Essential Adjective Clauses<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Non-Essential Adjective Clause<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Let us dive into details about types of adjective clauses \ud83d\udc47<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"essential-adjective-clause\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Essential Adjective Clause<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Essential adjectives are used in a sentence to make sense, regarding the description of the sentence. It cannot be eliminated from the statement because it is an integral part of the meaning of the sentence and the description is what counts. Also, there is no particular punctuation used to set the clause apart from the remainder of the phrase. Below are some instances that include necessary adjective clauses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><em>They tried to find a restaurant <\/em><strong><em>that served Italian food.<\/em><\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><em>The book <\/em><strong><em>that<\/em><\/strong><em> is on the table <\/em><strong><em>belongs to me.<\/em><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"non-essential-adjective-clause\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Non-Essential Adjective Clause<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A non-essential adjective clause, in contrast to an essential one, is not the primary clause focus and offers further details about the noun. These kinds of clauses don\u2019t matter when eliminated in a sentence and it will be still complete without them. For reference, here are a few non-essential adjective clauses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><em>My friend Ria, <\/em><strong><em>who is an excellent cook<\/em><\/strong><em>, is coming for dinner tonight.<\/em><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><em>My sister, <\/em><strong><em>who lives in America<\/em><\/strong><em>, will be coming to India next week.<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-pale-ocean-gradient-background has-background\"><strong>Also Read<\/strong>: <a href=\"https:\/\/leverageedu.com\/explore\/learn-english\/coordinating-clause\/\"><strong>Coordinating Clause: Definition, Usage &amp; Exercise<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"15-examples-of-adjective-clauses\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">15+ Examples of Adjective Clauses<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Gain a detailed understanding of types of adjective clauses through the help of examples:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table is-style-stripes\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td><strong>Essential Adjective Clause<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Non-Essential Adjective Clause<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>The bike <strong>that<\/strong> he bought last month is already giving me trouble.<\/td><td>My friend, <strong>who<\/strong> lives in New York, is coming to visit next month.<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>He is reading a <strong>novel <\/strong>that was recommended by his teacher.<\/td><td>My father\u2019s new car, <strong>which<\/strong> he bought last week, is a hybrid.<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>The house <strong>where<\/strong> he grew up is now abandoned.<\/td><td>Mr. Gupta, <strong>who <\/strong>is my neighbour, always helps with gardening.<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Do you know the boy <strong>who<\/strong> won the physics fair?<\/td><td>The company, <strong>whose<\/strong> profits have been declining, is implementing cost-saving measures.<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>She visited the city <strong>that<\/strong> her ancestors once called home.<\/td><td>The series, <strong>which<\/strong> won several awards, is now available on the online platform.<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>The pastry <strong>that<\/strong> he baked yesterday was delicious.<\/td><td>My aunt, <strong>who<\/strong> is a nurse, provided valuable medical advice.<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>This is the hotel <strong>where<\/strong> he stayed during his summer vacation.<\/td><td>The cat, <strong>which<\/strong> belongs to my friend, is very well-trained.<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>We need the money <strong>that<\/strong> he lent you last week.&nbsp;<\/td><td>The cafe, <strong>where<\/strong> we celebrated our anniversary, had an amazing ambiance.<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>The laptop <strong>that <\/strong>I purchased recently is very fast.<\/td><td>The novel, <strong>which<\/strong> was recommended by my teacher, turned out to be insightful.<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"usage-of-adjective-clause\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Usage of Adjective Clause<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you understand what adjective clauses include and how they\u2019re put together, using them will be easier. An adjective clause is a dependent clause that comes after the subject or object of the sentence, so keep that in mind when learning about its form. Things you need to know about the adjective clause are as follows: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>It comes right after the noun or phrase. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>It is modified and starts with a relative pronoun, such as who, that, which, whose, etc.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>There should also be a verb if a noun, noun phrase, or pronoun follows the relative pronoun.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>If a verb comes before the relative pronoun, an adjective will probably come after it.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-pale-ocean-gradient-background has-background\"><strong>Also read: <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/leverageedu.com\/explore\/learn-english\/adverb-clause-examples\/\"><strong>30+ Adverb Clauses Examples in English<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"practise-exercise-adjective-clause\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Practise Exercise Adjective Clause<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Question: Identify the adjective clause in the below sentences.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The book that is on the table belongs to Ria.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The woman who is wearing a red shirt is my mother.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>I visited the place where my grandmother grew up.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>He likes to read books that have happy endings.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The cat, which is brown and white, is very friendly.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>She bought a car that runs on electricity.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The cafe where we had lunch last afternoon was excellent.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The boy who won the competition was ecstatic.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Th house whose roof was damaged in the storm needs repairs.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The teacher who teaches Hindi is very knowledgeable.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Answers:&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Adjective Clause: \u201cthat is on the table\u201d<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Adjective Clause: \u201cwho is wearing a red shirt\u201d<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Adjective Clause: \u201cwhere my grandmother grew up\u201d<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Adjective Clause: \u201cthat have happy endings\u201d<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Adjective Clause: \u201cwhich is brown and white\u201d<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Adjective Clause: \u201cthat runs on electricity\u201d<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Adjective Clause: \u201cwhere we have lunch last afternoon\u201d<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Adjective Clause: \u201cwon the competition\u201d<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Adjective Clause: \u201cwhose roof was damaged in the storm\u201d<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Adjective Clause: \u201cwho teaches Hindi\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-pale-ocean-gradient-background has-background\"><strong>Related Reads on English Grammar<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table is-style-stripes\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td><a href=\"https:\/\/leverageedu.com\/explore\/learn-english\/noun-clause-examples\/\"><strong>Noun Clause Examples For Your Understanding!<\/strong><\/a><\/td><td><strong>Parts of Speech<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>How to Write a Letter: Letter Writing Types and Examples<\/strong><\/td><td><a href=\"https:\/\/leverageedu.com\/blog\/one-word-substitution\/\"><strong>101+ One Word Substitutions<\/strong><\/a><\/td><\/tr><tr><td><a href=\"https:\/\/leverageedu.com\/learn\/idioms-and-phrases-for-ielts\/\"><strong>List of Idioms and Phrases for IELTS<\/strong><\/a><\/td><td><a href=\"https:\/\/leverageedu.com\/explore\/learn-english\/adjective-worksheets\/\"><strong>All Types of Adjective Worksheet<\/strong><\/a><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-faqs\"><span id=\"faqs\">FAQs<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"schema-faq wp-block-yoast-faq-block\"><div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1710417382193\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">What is an Adjective clause?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">As mentioned above, an adjective clause is a dependent clause that adds information about a noun or pronoun in a sentence to modify it.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1710417396387\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">What are the types of clauses?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">There are two types of clauses: Essential Adjective Clause, and Non-Essential Adjective Clause.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1710417414294\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">How do you identify an adjectival clause?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Adjective clauses often start with a relative pronoun such as \u201cwho\u201d, \u201cwhom\u201d, \u201cwhich\u201d, or \u201cthat\u201d.
