🌨️ Whose Adjective Clause Example

Directions: Read the sentences. Use the red sentences to make adjective clauses for the blue sentences. Be careful! Not all of these adjective clauses use whose. 1. My brother makes a lot of money. My brother's company has branches in 42 countries. 2. Titanic was a great movie. Titanic's budget was over $200 million. 3. Adjective Clause Examples: The boy whom you saw at the store committed a robbery. The adjective clause is acting as an adjective in this sentence. The adjective clause describes the boy. It contains a subject and a verb, "you saw." However, it cannot stand alone as a complete thought. "Whom you saw at the robbery" is not a complete statement. Who are under fifteen is an example of an adjective clause in: Students who are under fifteen can participate in the soccer competition. For example: The painting we bought last week is a fake. When we think of an adjective, we usually think about a single word used before a noun to modify its meanings (e.g., tall building, smelly cat, argumentative assistant). However, an adjective can also come in the form of an adjective clause. When writing relative (adjective) clauses, students often are confused about when to use who, whom, and whose. Look at the following examples to understand the difference between them. Example One: The man at whom we are looking is doing yoga. People who do yoga are flexible. The man whose body is bent like a pretzel is extremely flexible! An adjective clause is a clause that works to describe (modify) a noun or pronoun. It will always be a subordinate clause. It appears immediately after the word it describes (modifies). Adjective clauses always begin with either a pronoun or an adverb. Pronouns: who, which, that, whom, whose. An adjective clause is a dependent clause containing a subject and a verb, while an adjective phrase is a group of words without a subject or a verb that function as an adjective. For example: Adjective clause: The cake that Mary baked is delicious. Adjective phrase: The delicious cake is from the bakery. 1. The possessive pronoun is omitted and the interrogative determiner whose comes at the beginning of the interrogative sentence; 2. The noun or noun phrase comes after whose; 3. The verb and the subject are inverted. For example: These shoes are mine. → Whose shoes are these? Whose book is this? The sentence with whose has an adjective clause: whose books she likes best. In the clause, whose is the relative pronoun and is used with books. The clause modifies the subject of the sentence: the author. _____ The people will be glad to help you. The people's names are on this list. ---> .
