    21.2 Adjective Clauses • Practice 1


    The Adjective Clause A clause is a group of words containing its own subject and verb. A clause that
    can stand by itself as a sentence is an independent clause. A clause that can only be part of a sentence is a
    subordinate clause. An adjective clause is a subordinate clause that modifies a noun or pronoun, telling
    what kind or which one. Adjective clauses usually begin with a relative pronoun — that, which, who, whom,
    or whose.
