D.1 Step 2. Learning about the attributive clause 1. Show Ss the definition of an adjective clause (attributive clause). An adjective clause is a dependent clause which takes the place of an adjective in another clause or phrase. Like an adjective, an adjective clause modifies a noun or pronoun, answering questions like "which?" or "what kind of?" Consider the following examples: Adjective:

the red coat Adjective clause:

the coat which I bought yesterday

Like the word “red” in the first example, the dependent clause “which I bought yesterday” in the second example modifies the noun “coat”. Note that an adjective clause usually comes after what it modifies, while an adjective usually comes before. In formal writing, an adjective clause begins with the relative pronouns “who(m),”

“that”, or “which”. In informal writing or speech, you may leave out the relative pronoun when it is not the subject of the adjective clause, but you should usually include the relative pronoun in formal, academic writing. Informal:

The books people read were mainly religious. Formal:

The books that people read were mainly religious. Informal

Some firefighters never meet the people they save. Formal Some firefighters never meet the people whom they save.

Can you tell the difference between Restrictive and Non-Restrictive Clause?

e.g. Beijing is a city that I’ve always wanted to visit.

Beijing, which is the capital of China, has a long history.

Mr. Black is the man who rescued me from the river.

Mr. Black, who is a doctor, rescued me from the river.

非限制性定语从句中通常使用下列关系代词和副词。

关系代词：which / who / whom / whose / as

关系副词：when / where (非限制性定语从句中不用关系词that；非限制性定语从句中关系词不能省略) 限制性定语从句和先行词关系密切，如果去掉从句，剩余部分意义不完整；非限制性定语从句只是先行词的附加说明，如果去掉从句，意义仍然完整。
