AdJective Clause
Adjective Clause
An adjective clause is a clause which describes, identifies, or gives further information about a noun.
An adjective clause tell us which person or thing (or what kind of person or thing) the speaker means.
An adjective clause is also called a relative clause.
We use who in a relative clause when we are talking about people.
When we are talking about thing, we use that in a relative clause
Example:
• The women who live next door is an announcer
• An announcer is a person that reads news or information on the television or radio.
Clause of Purpose: So That
Sometimes you have to use so taht to talk about teh purpose of doing something.
We use so that:
1. When the purpose is negative (so that . ... won’t/wouldn’t.)
• He hurried so that he wouldn’t be late.
2. With can and could (so that ... can/could......):
• He bought a satellite dish so that he could watch satellite television
3. When one person does something do that another person does something else:
• I whispered so that no-one would hear our conversation
So that is used only between clauses. Clauses with so that use modal auxiliaries (can, could, may, might, will, would). Commas are not used with so that.
• Phrase
A phrase is two words or more words that work together as a unit and/or as the same part of speech. The main word in a phrase is sometimes called the head word. A clause has a subjectfinite verb combination, but a phrase does not have both a subject and a finite verb.
• Boun Phrase
A noun phrase can be the subject of a clause, however, and a verb phrase can be the main verb of a clause. A noun phrase is a noun and its modifiers
Example: the large white house was sold yesterday

Example: red in a red dress or a red book
