Adjectival vs. Nominal clauses

¤ Difference between relative (adjectival) clauses and nominal clauses?

¤ The boat that he wants is there. ¤ I knew that he wanted a boat. ¤ In adjectival clauses, the relative pronoun has a function in the clause ¤ In nominal clauses, the “that” is an expletive (no function), and the entire clause takes the place of a NP

Exercise 36- p. 182

¤ Analyze and diagram the evens ¤ You are determining whether the when and where clauses are adverbial (subordinate) or nominal. Examples:

  • a. Julie could not remember where she had left her keys.

Julie could not remember it. (nominal)

  • b. When I get in late, my roommate gets upset.

Movable, doesn’t have a function in the clause= adverbial
