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.
