You’re probably already familiar with adjectives. They modify nouns and pronouns, providing a description or information. Adjective clauses, however, are groups of words that contain a subject and a verb, and provide further description.

Adjective clauses begin with relative pronouns, including:

who
whom
whose
that
which

They may also begin with relative adverbs, such as:

when
where
why

Seems simple enough, right? Let’s dive right into some different examples of adjective clauses. As soon as you see adjective clauses in action, you’ll be able to spot them from a mile away.
