主課程：形容詞子句（I、II）

本週的課程開始介紹形容詞子句，形容詞子句是複雜句當中的從屬子句的一種，他在句子中扮演的角色如同形容詞。形容詞子句通常緊跟在他要修飾的先行詞之後，並且由關係代名詞（that, which, whose, who, whom）或關係副詞（where, why, when）開頭，一個形容詞子句當中必定會包含主詞及動詞。在老師的課程中把形容詞子句分為六大類，本週課程介紹第一和第二類，分別是：

  1. 關代作為主詞代替句子當中的人事物
  2. 關代作為受詞代替句子當中的人事物

這兩類名詞子句又都可再分為限定修飾與非限定修飾（參考Week2），在非限定修飾部分逗點之前只可使用關代which（that之前不會有逗點）。

關於分類

將形容詞子句分類只是可以更方便地整理形容詞子句的各種用法，重點是要了解形容詞子句的修飾方式，分類當作參考即可無需特別強記。
