Answers
WHO KNEW HIS FIELDS INTIMATELY - is a relative clause
Explanation:
A relative clause is a subordinate clause that adapts, describes or modifies a noun. Relative clauses add information to sentences by using a relative pronoun such as who, that or which.
The clause in capital letters "WHO KNEW HIS FIELDS INTIMATELY" give us more information about Lencho. It is called a relative clause. You can find that it begins with a pronoun who, which is known as a relative pronoun. Other common relative pronouns are whom, whose, and which.
The relative clause in this sentence is called as non-defining relative clause because we know the identity of the person it describes, which is Lencho.
A non-defining relative clause usually has a comma in front of it and a comma after it. If the relative clause is the end of the sentence, then we will use a full stop after it.
Answer:
Name the clause in capital letters:
All morning Lencho, WHO KNEW HIS FIELDS INTIMATELY, looked at the sky.
- Relative Clause is the name of the given clause in capital letters.
- Subordinate Clauses are divided into three parts and they are : Noun Clause, Adjective Clause and Adverbial Clause.
- Relative Clause does the work of an Adjective in a sentence.
- Adjective Clause starts with Realtive Pronouns : "Who, whom, whose, which, that" and also Relati Adverbs : "When, where, why, as, how, whence".
- So the relative clause is : 'WHO KNEW HIS FIELDS INTIMATELY'.
- Adjective Clause always goes after the Antecedent.
- Adjective Clause defines the Antecedent and adds extra information to the Antecedent.
- For example : 'Lencho' is Antecedent here and 'looked at the sky' is extra information to the Antecedent.
- Therefore the given sentence is an example of Non-Defining Relative Clause, because it adds something to the Antecedent : 'looked at the sky'.
- For Non-Defining Relative Clause comma (,) is used before and after of the clause, if clause is remained in middle : All morning Lencho, WHO KNEW HIS FIELDS INTIMATELY, looked at the sky.
