Identify the type of subordinate clause in the following sentence. The man who bought the coat forgot his umbrella "who bought the coat" is what type of subordinate clause? -noun -adjective -adverb

OpenStudy (angiedoesschool2275):

Sorry, can't give direct answers. What do you think an adjective is?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I'm thinking the adjective is the word umbrella

OpenStudy (angiedoesschool2275):

I do not think so, a noun is a clause that plays the role of a noun, a adjective is something like who, what, where, when and how. Finally, a adverb modifies a noun like a name of something. So, what do you think it is now?

OpenStudy (angiedoesschool2275):

In "who bought the coat" the hint word is 'who' so, which clause refers to that?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The coat!!

OpenStudy (angiedoesschool2275):

The question is asking you what clause that sentence is right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes

OpenStudy (angiedoesschool2275):

It isn't asking you which word the clause is, it's asking you what clause it is and to use your clues you receive in the sentence. So, it is an adjective. Understand?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I see okay!
