GRAMMAR NOTES FOR ADJECTIVE CLAUSES!!!
A sentence has to have a subject, a verb, and has to make sense.
A verb is a word that is or describes an action
Hellen likes to run.
Itzel likes to dance.
Hellen actually HATES to run.
Brianna likes twerking.
Kate loves baseball.
A subject is what the sentence is about.
Although I set the alarm
“I” is the subject
How to determine the subject?
Ask yourself who or what is doing the action.
“Set” is the verb
Who is setting the alarm?
I am!
The word that receives the action of the verb is the direct object.
Julio mailed the letter to Danny.
Julio is the subject – Who mailed the letter? Julio did; therefore, Julio is the subject.
The verb is “mailed”
What got mailed? The letter got mailed; therefore, the letter is the direct object.
The letter is the direct object
“To” is a preposition
Danny is the indirect object or the subject of the preposition
Preposition: to, at, for, of, from, like,
A preposition is usually a small word that connects the verb to a noun. It describes a relationship to space or time.
The jelly beans are IN the jar.
The cat is ON the roof.

Exercise 2 is on pages 102; please do #1 – 10
Read page 101 - 102; then do exercise 2; #1 - 10
Underline the relative pronoun (who, whom, whose, which, that) and then write the adjective clause. The adjective clause almost ALWAYS follows the relative pronoun - who, whom, whose, which, that.
Exercise 3 is on pages 103 – 104; please do #1 – 10
Change the sentences by adding a relative pronoun (who, whom, whose, which, that) after the noun and then turn the rest of the sentence into an adjective clause.
An adjective describes a noun
The pretty cat
An ugly house
Goofy glasses
Gucci glasses
Lazy dog
Blue eyes
Dirty shoes
Ripped jeans
New shoes
Hairy arms
Hungry hippos
Tired dog
Messy hair
Adjective clause is a group of words that act like an adjective
Relative pronoun: who, whom, whose, which, that
Relative pronouns act like gates or doors to adjective clauses:
Luis, who likes running, has decided to enter the marathon.
We met the singer whose new cd was released this week.
