ABSTRACT

Introduction The subordinate clauses we looked at in Chapter 12 are not the end of the story. Joining two clauses together using the types of subordinating conjunction mentioned (when, if, because  .  .  .) typically creates a subordinate clause that functions as an adverbial, often specifying time, place, manner or cause. If there are subordinate clauses that behave like adverbs, then you might tentatively suggest that there ought to be some that behave like adjectives. And, indeed there are: relative clauses.
