1. Theories about adjective clauses
"A relative clause is another
name for an adjective clause. This is because both perform a function similar
to an adjective in a sentence--they add information to a noun.
There are two types of
relative/adjective clauses: restrictive and nonrestrictive.
Restrictive Clauses
"I want a motorcycle that is black."
In this sentence, the relative
clause "that is black" answers the question, "Which motorcycle
do you want?" or "What kind of motorcycle do you want?" Because
it answers this question, it is a restrictive relative clause.
Nonrestrictive Clause
"My mother, who lives in Karawang,
is 52."
In this sentence, the relative
clause "who lives in Karawang" does not answer the question,
"Which one?". Instead, it gives extra information. Because it gives
extra information, it is a nonrestrictive relative clause.
Recognize an adjective clause when
you see one.
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 arelative adverb
[when, where, or why].
- Finally, it will function as an
adjective, answering the questions What kind? How many? or Which one?
The adjective clause will follow one
of these two patterns:
·
Relative Pronoun or Adverb + Subject
+ Verb
·
Relative Pronoun As Subject + Verb
Here are some examples Relative Pronoun :
Who : used for humans in subject
position
Who hiccupped for
seven hours after ward
Who = relative pronoun
functioning as subject; hiccupped = verb.
Which : used for things and animals
in subject or object position (objects of verbs and prepositions)
- Marike has a
dog which follows her everywhere.
- The chair
which he broke is being repaired.(verb object)
- She was
wearing the coat for which she had paid $2,00. (preposition object).
Whose : used for humans, animalsi or
objects to give information about their possessions
Whose big, brown eyes pleaded for another cookie
Whose = relative
pronoun; eyes = subject; pleaded = verb.
Whom : used for humans in object
position (Object and verb object preposition)
- Antonie, whom Hans
knows well, is an interior decorator.
- He paid the man
whom/that he had hired. (verb object)
- He paid the man from
whom he had borrowed the money. (preposition object)
When : used for time (Liaison word
used to describe the time)
- I’m sick
when my parents went to Mekkah.
- This is
the year when the Olympic Games are held.
Where : used for places (Liaison
word that is used to place)
- The hotel
where he stayed last summer was very beautiful.
Why Fred cannot stand sitting across from his sister Melanie
Why = relative adverb;
Fred = subject; can stand = verb [not, an adverb, is not officially part
of the verb].
That : used for humans, animals and
things, in subject or object position
That bounced across
the kitchen floor
That = relative
pronoun functioning as subject; bounced = verb.

4. The article containing the adjective clause (underline):
For
most modern airports, the major design problem is scale how to allow adequate
space on the ground for maneuvering wide body jets while permitting convenient
and apid movement of passengers departing, arriving, or transferring from one
flight to another.
Most
designs for airport terminals take one of four approaches. In the linear
plan, the building may be straight o curved. The passengers board aircraft
parked next to the terminal. This plan works well for small airports that need
to provide boarding areas for only a few aircraft at a time.
In
the pier plan, narrow corridors or piers extend from a central building. This
plan allows many aircraft o park next to the building. However, it creates long
walking distance for passengers.
In
the satellite plan, passengers board aircraft small terminals that are
separated from the main terminals.
Passengers reach the satellite by way of shuttle trains or underground
passengers ways that have shuttle trains or moving sidewalks.
The
transporter plan employs some system of transport to move passengers from the
terminal building to the aircraft. If buses are used, the passengers must
climb a flight of stairs to board the aircraft. If mobile lounges are
used, they can link up directly with the aircraft and protect passengers from
the weather.
