An adjective is a word that describes a noun or a pronoun, for example a tall tree, the food is tasty.
Adjective clause:
- A clause is a group of words with its own subject and verb.
- An adjective clause describes a noun that comes just before it. It begins with who, which, that, whose, or with where/when after a noun of place or time.
Example: This is the school where my father studied.
(A) I don't know whose books are kept here. — Not an adjective clause.
- The clause is the object of "know" (I don't know what?), so it is a noun clause.
(B) I am glad that he won the match. — Not an adjective clause.
- The clause completes the adjective "glad" and gives the reason for the feeling.
- It describes no noun.
(C) I missed the flight as I was late. — Not an adjective clause.
- "As I was late" gives the reason: an adverb clause.
(D) I know the place where they will come. — Adjective clause.
- "Where they will come" describes the noun place.
(E) I remember the day when we met for the first time. — Adjective clause.
- "When we met for the first time" describes the noun day.
