20 Examples of Subordinate Adjective Sentences

Subordinate Adjective Sentences

The subordinate adjective clauses, are propositions or suborations that fulfill the function of a adjective, so they can be replaced by one. For example: The blanket that I bought yesterday it's green.In this example, the adjective subordinate clause is "that I bought yesterday", and can be replaced by the adjective "new": The new blanket is green.

Also known as subordinate adjectival propositions, belong to the compound sentences. Remember that compound sentences can be coordinated or subordinates.

In the subordinate there is a proposition (or suboration) that is syntactically subordinate to the main clause. For this reason, in these sentences two verbs are always recognized: the main (predicate core) and the subordinate verb (core of the subordinate proposition).

For example: The team with whom i workedIt was very efficient. In this example, the main verb is “was”, and the subordinate verb is “worked”.

Characteristics

Subordinate adjective clauses fulfill the typical function of the adjective, that is, they express some characteristic of the main clause, which fulfills the function of ‘antecedent’.

Usually the antecedent is a noun, but it can also be a pronoun or a complete sentence. In this way the adjectival subordinate clause "gets embedded" in the compound clause. Within the sentence, they usually function as apposition.

As with adjectives, two types of subordinate adjective clauses can be distinguished:

Many adjectival subordinate clauses are introduced by a pronoun, alone or combined with a preposition (what, to whom, where, from which, etc.). For example: Person Who is the letter addressed to? He lives in London.
