Make Complex Sentences with Adjective Clause

A sentence that contains one adjective clause and one independent clause is the result of combining two clauses that contain a repeated noun. You can combine two independent clauses to make one complex sentence containing an adjective clause by following these steps:

Step 1. Find the repeated noun (or pronoun, or noun and pronoun which refer to the same thing).

Look at these examples:
  •  The book is on the table. + I like the book. ("the book" is repeated.)
  •  The man is here. + The man wants the book. ("the man" is repeated.)

Step 2. Replace the repeated noun with a relative pronoun (in the clause that you want to make it dependent).

  •  The book is on the table. + I like which. (Replace "the book" with "which".)
  •  The man is here. + who wants the book. (Replace "the man" with "who".)

Step 3. Move the relative pronoun to the front of the clause, adjective clause, if it is not already there.

The clause is now an adjective clause.

  •  The book is on the table. + which I like. (Move "which" to the front.)
  •  The man is here. + who wants the book. ("who" is in front, so there is no need to move.)

Step 4. Place the adjective clause  immediately after the noun phrase it modifies (the repeated noun).

  •  The book which I like is on the table. (Place "which I like" next to the noun "the book" in the first clause.) 
  •  The man who wants the book is here. (Place "who wants the book" next to the noun "the man" in the first clause.)
