Explanation:
Briefly:
- a noun clause is the subject or object of the sentence
-an adjective clause describes the nouns in the sentence
-an adverbial clause answers a question
Firstly, in the exercise that you are probably doing, you only need to recognise the noun phrase so that you can separate it from the other two. Once you have determined the noun clause, it will become much easier to find and name the adjective clauses and the adverbial clauses.
The noun clause is easy enough to recognise. It is the subject or object of the sentence. You can often replace it with a single-word noun.
A noun clause usually starts with one of these words; who, what, why, when, where, how, that, whoever, whether and that.
Whoever turned off the water is going to be in trouble. (Jake is going to be in trouble.)
Whether we go or we stay is not important. (It is not important.)
Jake likes what he can eat quickly. (Jake likes it.)
Jake believes that he can run fast. (Jake believes it.)
An adjective clause can begin with a relative pronoun: who, whose, whom, which or that. It describes the noun, just as a single-word adjective does, only it’s an entire clause, (-complete with subject and predicate. **Note that sometimes part of the phrase will be omitted, but it can be inferred.)
Jake, who is young, lives in Paris.
‘who is young’- describes the subject Jake.
Let’s make it trickier. Same idea, more words.
Jake, whose sister studies at the Sorbonne, lives in Paris.
‘whose sister studies at the Sorbonne’- also describes Jake.
Jake loves pizza, which isn’t good for his diet.
‘which isn’t good for his diet’- describes the object ‘pizza’
Adjective clauses can also start with the subordinate conjunctions, ‘when’ and ‘where’.
Jake lives in Paris, where his family has lived for years.
’where his family…’ - describes ‘Paris’.
In 1990, when Jake was born, there was a terrible earthquake.
‘when Jake…’ describes ‘1990’.
Adverbial clauses are similar but they answer a question and often begin with different words. Adverbial clauses describe the action in terms of a sense. Here are the usual suspects.
reason -He spoke quietly because it was late.
purpose-He spoke quietly in order not to wake Celia.
condition- If he spoke quietly, he wouldn’t wake her up.
result- The house was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.
concession- Although he spoke quietly, he woke her up.
place- He believed that he was happy where he lived,
time- He spoke quietly before he realised that no one was home.
manner- He spoke quietly as he always did.
comparison- He spoke just as quietly as he had before his voice lessons.
**He spoke quietly in order not to wake up Celia.
(Notice in this sentence that, although ‘quietly’ is an adverb, it is not part of the adverbial clause. The adverbial clause ‘in order not to wake Celia’ describes ‘spoke’ and further describes the reason he ‘spoke quietly’.)
The two instances that might cause confusion are the adjective clauses and adverbial clauses that have ‘where’ and ‘when’/ Let’s look at the difference.
Adjectival- In 1990, when I was born, there was an earthquake.
Notice that in this example I am only describing 1990. I am not answering any questions about it.
Adverbial- He took off his shoes when he came home.
Here I am answering the question when did he take off his shoes. I am not describing the time.
Adjectival- I like to visit Paris, where my sister lives, in April.
Notice that I’m describing ‘Paris’. I have no reason, purpose, time etc.
Adverbial- He wanted to be happy where he lived.
Notice that in this example I am answering the question of where. I am not describing the place.
To check if your clause is adverbial or adjectival, you could go through the ‘senses’ I have written for adverbials. Is the clause giving a reason? a purpose? a result? an actual place or time? etc.
I hope that helps. These are rather difficult concepts in grammar.
