An Adjective Clause Turns to an Adjective Phrase


Adjective clause does not change the sentence’s basic meaning. Sometimes, they provide more information into a sentence so, need to be set off with commas.

Here are some examples of adjective clause in the sentences :

Burger, which most people love, is not very healthy.
The people whose have good speaking English are sitting beside me.
Grandpa remembered the old days when there was no internet connection.
Fruit  that is grown organically is behind my house.
Students who are diligent get good score.
Eco-friendly cars that run in front of my office save gas.
They know someone whose father served in London.

Making changing from an adjective clause to an adjective phrase

An adjective clause can be shorten in two ways :

First, omit the subject pronoun and verb.
Secondly, omit the subject pronoun and change the verb to the verb "ing."
