Grammar: Adjective

Question:

Identify the Adjective Clause in the following sentence: The book that you lent me was very interesting.

Options:

the book

that you lent me

was very interesting

very interesting

Correct Answer:

that you lent me

Explanation:

The correct answer is OPTION 2 - that you lent me

  • An Adjective Clause describes a noun and usually starts with words like who, which, that, whose, whom.

  • In the sentence, "that you lent me" gives more information about "the book."

  • It tells us which book is being talked about — the one you lent me.

  • Therefore, "that you lent me" is the adjective clause.

Quick way to spot an Adjective Clause:

  • It starts with a relative pronoun like who, which, or that.

  • It directly describes a noun just before it.

  • It can usually be removed without destroying the main structure of the sentence, but the extra detail will be lost.
