1 Grammar Handout 3 RELATIVE (ADJECTIVE) CLAUSES I Adjectives are used to modify and give information about nouns. Adjective clauses are also used to give more information about nouns. An adjective clause is a group of words. It looks like a sentence because it has a subject and a verb, but it can t stand alone. It can only be used as part of a sentence. Relative (adjective) clauses describe or give information about nouns just like adjectives do. ADJECTIVES An adjective describes or gives information about a noun. An adjective usually comes IN FRONT OF a noun, a) I met a famous + man. adjective noun b) Jack is wearing a big + hat. adjective noun RELATIVE (ADJECTIVE) CLAUSES An adjective clause also describes or gives information about a noun. but an adjective clause FOLLOWS a noun. c) I met a man + who is a famous poet. noun adjective clause d) Jack is wearing a hat + which is too big for him. noun adjective clause TASK 1. Read the text below, and do the following tasks with your partner. 1. Do you watch a lot of TV? 2. Did you watch a lot of TV when you were a child? 3. Do you think that some TV shows are bad for children? CHILDREN AND THE MEDIA Before families had TV, most of the information which children got was from their parents, teachers and books which their parents bought. When TV entered homes, it brought a variety of information, ideas and images that children didn t have before. As more mothers started to go out to work, parents couldn t control the programs which their children watched. Today, the typical child spends an average of 5.5 hours a day using some form of media (TV, music, computers, printed material). Children who watch unsuitable programs often cause trouble in schools. The teachers who see these children as troublemakers complain to the parents. Parents, however, say that they don t have enough time to monitor the programs which their children watch. Some children live in homes which have rules about media use, but in many homes there are no rules. Children are of course unhappy about parents who set limits. However, parents have to pay attention to the programs which their children watch, and they need to set a time limit. TV channels should also make sure that their programs are suitable for children. Programs that educators find unsuitable for children should be broadcast late at night. Taken and adapted from Elbaum, Sandra N. (2001). Grammar in Context, (Unit 6), Heinle & Heinle Publishers.

Which programs should be broadcast late at night? Programs that educators find unsuitable for children should be broadcast late at night.

RELATIVE CLAUSES: 1. are used to define, or give additional information about nouns, 2. begin with who, which, that, whose, whom, where, when, and why, (This handout focuses on relative clauses which define nouns, and begin with who(m), which, that) 3. usually come after the noun they define. Relative pronouns who/which/that can be the subject or the object of the clause. A.
