Question

Combine the following sentences using an adjective clause.
George Washington was the first President of the United States. Many untrue stories have been told about his personal qualities.

Answer 1

See the explanation at the beginning of the question on adverbial clauses (the question just before this one in the list to the left).

Now, once you are oriented to what's a clause (has both a subject and a finite verb) and what's not (lacks a subject or lacks a finite verb or lacks both), we can talk about clauses.

Clauses can be independent or dependent. Independent clauses can stand on their own. Dependent clauses cannot.

There are three types of dependent clauses:
noun clauses
adjective clauses
adverb clauses

This question asks about adjectival (or adjective) clauses.

Adjective clauses are clauses that begin with "that" or "which" or "who" or "whose" or "whom" and that describe some noun. They describe a noun -- just as single-word adjectives do and just as adjectival phrases do. That's why they're called "adjective clauses."

You are going to take one of those two clauses and convert it to being an adjectival clause by adding one of those words on the front, and then you are going to combine both clauses together to form one sentence.

Make sense?

Here's an example . . .

My neighbor walked down the street. She plays in an all-girl band.

My neighbor, who plays in an all-girl band, walked down the street.

Now that's a very simple example, but you get the point. With the two sentences you've been given, you might have to fiddle with them a bit. Basically, you'll be combining them with a "who" or some variation of "who" (whose, whom, about whom, and so on).
