Adjective Clauses

Adjective clauses (relative clauses) are like "sentences inside sentences." The "job" of adjective clauses is to modify (describe, identify, make specific) the noun phrases that they follow. In their full forms, adjective clauses have several parts: a relative pronoun (or, in some cases, another kind of connecting word), a subject, and a predicate (a verb and, often, other types of words which follow it).

In adjective clauses, the relative pronoun is a kind of connecting word: it joins the information in the clause to the noun phrase that it follows. Without the adjective clause, the meaning of the modified noun phrase (and of the sentence) is unclear and incomplete.

Examples (full forms):

I know a person who / that can help you.

I know a person who(m) / that you can help.

I know a person whose advice I can trust.

I know a person to whom I can refer you. /

I know a person who(m) / that I can refer you to.

I want a car that / which gets good gas mileage.

I can't afford the car that / which I really want.

______________________________

Types of Adjective Clauses

1.                "Subject Pattern" Clauses

In this type of adjective clause, the relative pronoun is the subject of the clause. Subject pattern clauses can, however, modify both subjects and objects of sentences:

The man who / that talked to us was very friendly.

Do you know the man who / that talked to us?

                 

2.                "Object Pattern" Clauses

In this type of adjective clause, the relative pronoun is the object of the clause (but

an object pattern clause can modify both subjects and objects of sentences):

The people who(m) / that we met seemed very friendly.

The people to whom / that we were speaking seemed very friendly. /

The people who(m) / that we were speaking to seemed very friendly.

I recently saw the people to whom / that we were talking. / I recently saw the people who(m) / that we were talking to.

                 

3.                Clauses Showing Possession

Here, the relative pronoun is possessive and is attached to another word in the

adjective clause:

The people whose names are called will work the first shift.

Do you know the student whose brother won a gold medal in the Olympics?

THE MAN IN THE NEXT BAD

Two men, both seriously ill, occupied the same hospital room. One man was allowed to sit up in his bed for an hour each afternoon to help drain the fluid from his lungs. His bed was next to the room’s only window. The other man had to spend all his time flat on his back. The men talked for hours on end. They spoke of their wives and families, their homes, their jobs, their involvement in the military service, where they had been on vacation.

Every afternoon, when the man in the bed by the window could sit up, he would pass the time by describing to his roommate all the things he could see outside the window. The man in the other bed began to live for those one hour periods where his world would be broadened and enlivened by all the activity and color of the world outside.

The window overlooked a park with a lovely lake. Ducks and swans played on the water while children sailed their model boats. Young lovers walked arm in arm amidst flowers of every color and a fine view of the city skyline could be seen in the distance. As the man by the window described all this in exquisite details, the man on the other side of the room would close his eyes and imagine this picturesque scene.

One warm afternoon, the man by the window described a parade passing by. Although the other man could not hear the band – he could see it in his mind’s eye as the gentleman by the window portrayed it with descriptive words.

Days, weeks and months passed. One morning, the day nurse arrived to bring water for their baths only to find the lifeless body of the man by the window, who had died peacefully in his sleep. She was saddened and called the hospital attendants to take the body away.

As soon as it seemed appropriate, the other man asked if he could be moved next to the window. The nurse was happy to make the switch, and after making sure he was comfortable, she left him alone. Slowly, painfully, he propped himself up on one elbow to take his first look at the real world outside. He strained to slowly turn to look out the window besides the bed.

It faced a blank wall.

The man asked the nurse what could have compelled his deceased roommate who had described such wonderful things outside this window. The nurse responded that the man was blind and could not even see the wall. She said, ‘Perhaps he just wanted to encourage you.’

 Epilogue:

There is tremendous happiness in making others happy, despite our own situations. Shared grief is half the sorrow, but happiness when shared, is doubled. If you want to feel rich, just count all the things you have that money can’t buy.

“Yesterday is a history. Tomorrow is a mistery. Today is a gift, that is why it is called Present .”
