Adjective clauses and appositives are similar. They do the same job, but the grammar is different.

 

adjective clause

I like my teacher whose name is Mrs. Loo.

I like my teacher, who is named Mrs. Loo.

I like my teacher who is named Mrs. Loo.

 

appositive

I like my teacher, who is named Mrs. Loo.

I like my teacher, Mrs. Loo.

SENTENCE , NOUN or NAME

I like my teacher, Mrs. Loo.

 

I like my adopted city, Vancouver.

I love my new country, Canada.

I miss my old country, Colombia.

I miss my country, El Salvador.

 

ADJ CL        I miss my country, which is El Salvador.

APPOSITIVE         I miss my country, El Salvador.

Appositives helps to shorten sentences, especially ones with adjective clauses.
