Skill 9: ADJECTIVE CLAUSE CONNECTORS

ADJECTIVE CLAUSE

In the first example, there are two clauses: this is the subject of the verb is, and /is the subject of
the verb want. That is the adjective clause connector that joins these two clauses, and the adjective
clause that I want to buy describes the noun house.
In the second example, there are also two clauses: house is the subject of the verb is, and /is the

these two clauses, and the adjective clause that I want to buy describes the noun house.
