An adjective is a word that describes a noun or a pronoun, for example a tall tree, the food is tasty.
Adjective clause:
- An adjective clause describes a noun, as an adjective does.
- It usually begins with a relative pronoun: who, whom, whose, which, that.
- It comes right after the noun it describes.
Example: The girl who won the race is my cousin.
(A) I am as tall as you are. — Incorrect.
- "As you are" is an adverb clause of comparison.

(B) I know the man who built that house. — Correct.
- "Who built that house" describes the noun man: it is an adjective clause.
(C) you say more than you mean. — Incorrect.
- "Than you mean" is an adverb clause of comparison.
(D) He eats as much as he can. — Incorrect.
