Question

having trouble understanding an adjective clause...

can someone help explain it to me?

That is the house "where I grew up."
The words in quotes make up an adjective clause. An adjective clause does
what an adjective does: it modifies a noun or pronoun. The clause above
modifies the noun "house". Adjective clauses often begin with that, which,
where, who, whom, or whose. The following sentence contains an adjective
clause. Type the first word followed by a space and last word of the
adjective clause.
There once was a man whom a princess loved.

Answer 2

Well, we see in the first example that "where I grew up" is the adjective clause because it modifies the house. Let's look at this sentence. "There once was a man whom a princess loved." What modifies the man?

Yes! Because the man was a man whom a princess loved :)
