💮 An adjective clause

An adjective clause—also called an adjectival or relative clause—will meet three requirements:

❇️ First, it will contain a subject and verb.

❇️ Next, it will begin with a relative pronoun who, whom, whose, that, or which or a relative adverb when, where, or why.

❇️ Finally, it will function as an adjective, answering the questions What kind? How many? or Which one?

Read these examples:👇👇👇

Chewing with her mouth open is one reason why Fred cannot stand sitting across from his sister Melanie.

Notice that the adjective clause follows the word that it describes.

⭕️ing form with passive meaning⭕️

☝️After deserve, need and require, the -ing form has a passive sense. This structure is more common in British than American English.

👉I don’t think his article deserves reading. (= … deserves to be read.)

👉Your hair needs cutting. (= … needs to be cut.)

☝️In informal British English, want can also be used like this.

👉The car wants servicing. (= … needs to be serviced.)

😊To improve our English we need each other
