Identify the adjective clause in the following sentence:
I know the day when Sohan will come :
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
The correct answer is Option (2) → When Sohan will come
An adjective is a word that describes a noun or a pronoun, for example a tall tree, the food is tasty.
Adjective clause:
- It does the work of an adjective: it describes a noun or pronoun.
- It begins with a relative word: who, which, that, whose, when, where.
- Here "when Sohan will come" describes the noun "the day": which day? The day when Sohan will come.
Why the Other Options are Incorrect?
Option 1: I know the day — Incorrect. This is the main clause. It can stand alone.
Option 3: The day when Sohan will — Incorrect. It cuts off the verb "come" and adds the noun. It is not a clause.
Option 4: Know the day when Sohan — Incorrect. A broken group of words from two clauses, with no complete verb for Sohan.
