Generally, EF34 students find adjective clauses to be harder than adverb clauses and noun clauses. Adjective clauses are harder, more challenging.
If you are having trouble with adjective clauses, don’t give up. Practice. Review. Do daily practice. Just practice. You might be amazed what slow, steady, boring daily practice can do for you.
