Question

Read the sentence. Books that deal with current events in an exciting way often become best sellers. The bolded words are what kind of clause?

Answer 1

this is adjective clause

Answer 2

Answer :

According to Grammarly 'Dependent clauses can also begin with relative pronouns and relative adverbs, such as who, whoever, whom, whomever, that, which, when, where, and whose. If the relative clause begins with one of these words and functions as an adjective, it is an adjective clause. Adjective clauses, also known as adjectival or relative clauses modify nouns or pronouns.'

In the given sentence 'that deal with current events in an exciting way' is an adjective clause because it begins with 'that' and defines the noun 'books' that precedes it.
