CONTINUE WITH ADJECTIVE CLAUSES
Adjective clauses
REVIEW of sentence types
1.SIMPLE
2.COMPOUND
3.COMPLEX
-adverb clauses
-noun clauses
-adjective clauses
These are all of the clauses and sentence types in English.
ADJECTIVE CLAUSES
-who
-that
-which
-whom, where, when- not used as often
95%
-who – people, all people
-that – things, animals
-which – special things, unique things
Examples
*who
Her mother who is
ninety years old is very healthy.
Say two thiings-
1. Her mother is very
healthy. main clause
2. who (She) is ninety years
old adjectice clause
Her mother who is
very healthy is ninety years old.
*The information in the adjective clause is less important than
the informaiton in the main clause.
Her sister is a nurse who works in Burnaby Hospital. main cl adj cl
‘who works in Burnaby Hospital’ is describing ‘nurse’
Her sister who works
in Burnaby Hospital is a nurse.
‘who works in Burnaby Hospital’ is describing ‘sister’
Her sister is a nurse. main clause- simple sentence SV
Her sister X is a nurse X. COMPLEX- ADJ CL
X who works in Burnaby Hospital
Two ways to do this:
Her sister is a nurse who works in Burnaby Hospital.
Her sister who works
in Burnaby Hospital is a nurse.
*The adjective clause comes after the noun.
Her sister who works
in Burnaby Hospital is a nurse.
Her who works in Burnaby
Hospital sister is a nurse. XXX
CONFUSING-

blue-adj
that he loves – adj cl
The little boy has a blue he loves bike. XXX
*that- things, animals
The apple tree is growing very quickly. SIMPLE SENT- SV
The apple tree that Dora planted
last year is growing very quickly. adj cl
The apple tree that is
in front of her window is growing very quickly. adj cl
Shirin has a phone that has a great camera.
Shirin who is my sister’s
best friend has a phone that has a great camera.
**REMINDER FROM LAST CLASS ‘that’ is a tricky word with a lot of uses
in English. I will continue to explain the uses of ‘that’.
SENTENCE STYLES:
2 SIMPLES The apple tree is growing very quickly. It is
in front of her window.
COMPOUND The apple tree is in front of her window, and it is growing
very
quickly.
The apple tree is in front of her window; fortunately/clearly/amazingly,
it is growing very quickly.
COMPLEX
-adv cl The apple tree is growing very quickly
because it is in front of her window.
-n cl She can see that
the apple tree in front of her window is
growing very

*which- special things, unique things
Taipei, which is the capital of Taiwan, is famous for the 101
Building.
HIGHER LEVEL- Use commas when something is unique. I teach this in
EF6,7

i.e. Canada, Iran, China, Beijing, Toronto, BC Place, SHEC, Cypress Mountain,

to go to post-secondary, is the only VSB adult education school.

**I teach commas around adj cl in EF6,7
special
Maria loves the necklace which her grandmother gave her.
She misplaced the diamond ring which she got from her husband.
Let’s do some practice.
Write sentences that have adjective clauses from your own imagination.
Try ‘who’, ‘that’, and ‘which’.
Examples:
I like Allan’s dog whose name is Butter.
Her sister whose name is Edna is a very good skier.
Singing in the Rain which
is my favourite movie I watched again last night. RW
FIX
