adjectival clause

    0.03 sec.

adjectival clause

Subordinate clause with the function of an adjective in the whole sentence. This means that the adjectival clause qualifies a noun phrase, as in ‘The computer, which I inherited, did not work.’ An adjectival clause is sometimes called a ‘relative’ clause, because it is joined by a relative pronoun (which in this example).

The original noun phrase, which the adjectival clause qualifies, is called the antecedent.
