The Adjective Clause Worksheet - Teach-nology - Free Printable

Problem Overview:

The task involves identifying adjective clauses in the given sentences and underlining them. Additionally, you need to circle the word that the adjective clause modifies.

Solution Approach:

1. Identify Adjective Clauses:
- An adjective clause is a dependent clause that functions as an adjective. It provides additional information about a noun or pronoun in the sentence.
- Adjective clauses often begin with relative pronouns such as who, whom, whose, which, that, or relative adverbs like when, where, why.
- The clause answers questions like "which one?" or "what kind?"

2. Underline the Adjective Clause:
- Locate the part of the sentence that acts as an adjective clause and underline it.

3. Circle the Word Modified:
- Identify the noun or pronoun in the main clause that the adjective clause describes or modifies and circle it.
