Adjective

Clause
You are probably familiar with adjectives. They
modify nouns and pronouns, providing a description
or information. A clause is also a part of a sentence.
An adjective clause, usually also called relative
clause, tells us about which person or thing (or what
kind of person or thing ) thespeaker means.
