Review: Noun, Adjective and Adverb Clauses, Answer 8.3
Oops!
- Question:
- That is the place where Wolfe’s and Montcalm’s armies fought.
- Answer:
- The answer adverb clause is not correct.
- Explanation:
- In this tricky example, the subordinating conjunction where may have misled you. In fact, the clause does not answer the adverb question where? but rather it answers the adjective question which place? This is an adjective clause, modifying the noun place.
