Compound sentences are those that have two or more suborations (also called prepositions). Depending on the function that the suborations fulfill, they can be classified into different types. The adjective sub-words They are a type of subordinate clauses that fulfill the function of modifying and expanding the information of the main clause.

For example: The book what did you give me it is very entertaining. (that you gave me: adjective suboration that serves as a direct modifier of the kernel "book")

Adjective suborations can be:

  • Specific.They are those adjective sentences that put a limit to the extension of the meaning of the noun to which they refer. It must be taken into account that if it is removed from the subparagraph, it modifies its meaning. For example: Dogs they misbehave they will not receive bones. If we remove the subparagraph, the meaning of the sentence changes completely.
  • Explanatory. They provide some explanation about the quality of the noun phrase or, of some circumstance. These sentences are usually placed between commas and can be removed from the sentence without altering its meaning. For example: Dogs, they misbehave, they will not receive bones.

If we compare both sentences that we gave as an example, at first glance it would seem that they have the same meaning. But this is not so. In the case of the explanatory sentence, it is affirming that no dog will receive bones because all of them misbehave while, in the first case, it refers to the fact that only those dogs that misbehave will not receive bones.


Adjective sentences are usually introduced by:

  • Relative adverbs: like when, where. For example: The Department where we lived it was too big. (where we lived: adjectival suboration that serves as a direct modifier of the nucleus "department")
  • Relative determinantwhose, whose, whose or whose. For example: My neighbor, fromwhose name I don't remember, He's always in a good mood. (whose name I don't remember: adjectival suboration that fulfills the function of explanatory apposition)
  • Relative Pronounswho what or which. For example: Home what do we buy together It brings me bad memories. (that we buy together: adjective suboration that serves as a direct modifier of the "house" nucleus)
