An adjective clause is a subordinate clause that modifies a noun or pronoun, with words like "that", "where", "who", "whose", "when", "which", or "whom" introducing the clause near the noun or pronoun being modified. Adjective clauses can be essential, and not set off by commas, or nonessential and set off by commas.

    Using Adjective Clauses


    Adjective clauses help you describe a word within a sentence without
    writing an additional sentence.

    It weighs 1,600 pounds.
    Combined: Nomad, which weighs 1,600 pounds, is a robot developed

    An adjective clause is a subordinate clause modifying a noun or a
    pronoun. The following words are commonly used to introduce adjective
    clauses.
    that where who whose when which whom
    One of these words is always near the noun or pronoun that the
    adjective clause modifies.
    NOTE: Nonessential clauses can be omitted from a sentence without
    changing the meaning. These clauses are set off by commas. Essential clauses
    that are necessary to a sentence's meaning are not set off by commas.
    Essential: Nomad has two floating side frames that support its wheels.
    Nonessential: Nomad, which has two floating side frames, is maneuverable
    in a variety of terrains.
