1. First, it will contain a subject and verb. 2. Next, it will begin wit a relative pronoun (who, whom, whose, that, or which) or a relative adverb (when, where, or why) 3. Finally, it will function as an adjective, answering the questions what kind? how many? or which one?
The adjective clause will follow one of these two patterns: Relative pronoun or adverb + Subject+ Verb Relative pronoun as subject + Verb
Here are some examples:
- Whose big, brown eyes peladed for another cookie
