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
