Exercise 210.

a. Change into Adjective Clauses the Adjective elements printed in italics.

Our mother tells us pretty tales. The sick child is getting better. That is a false report. Hard-working people deserve to get on. Everybody liked their offer. His broad, clear brow in sunlight glowed.

b. Change into Adjective word elements the Adjective Clauses printed in italics.

Most of the novels which Scott wrote are very interesting. The task which you have to do is easy. I shall long remember the fright which I had. A bird that is old is not caught with chaff. Uneasy lies the head that wears a crown. Let me have men about me that are fat.

506. Adjective Clauses cannot always be changed into Adjective word elements. The Adjective Clauses in the following sentences, for example, cannot be :

There was never yet philosopher

That could endure the toothache patiently.

There is a tide in the affairs of men

Which, taken at the flood, leads on to fortune.

507. An Adjective Clause may be easily recognized from the fact that it is always used with some Noun (or Pronoun), and tells something about the person or thing named.

508. A Noun Clause in Apposition (see par. 494), like a Noun in Apposition, is really an Adjective element, since it explains or modifies a Noun.

509. As every Relative Pronoun introduces a Clause about its Antecedent, it follows that every Relative Pronoun introduces an Adjective Clause modifying or limiting the Antecedent.

NOTE.-The Relative Pronoun what must be carefully distinguished from the Interrogative Pronoun what, and from the Adjective what. (See pars. 239 and 450.)

Exercise 211.

In Exercises 118 and 119 pick out the Adjective Clauses and say what each Clause modifies.

Read again par. 234 and work again Exercise 120.

Exercise 212.

Pick out the Adjective Clauses in Exercise 120 and say what each modifies.

510. Adjective Clauses may also be introduced by most of the Conjunctive Adverbs (see pars. 416, 417); as,

This is the factory where my brother works (where

It shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.

in which).

The prisoner was sent back to the place whence he came.
This was the reason why I came.

That was the day when I first saw you.

Exercise 213.

Pick our the Adjective Clauses and say what each modifies.

I remember the house where I was born. I know a bank whereon the wild thyme blows. The reason why he came is not known. The place whither you are traveling is far away. Look to the rock whence ye are hewn. What is the cause wherefore ye are come?
