In using an adjective clause, you should always place it as near to the word it modifies as possible. If you misplace the adjective clause, it makes a ridiculous sentence or one that is unclear.
Examples:
I waved to
my dog from the car that had just licked my face. = incorrect
(The car did not lick my face;
the dog did.)
I waved to my dog that had just licked my
face from the car. = correct
Instructions: Rewrite the following sentences placing the adjective clause in the correct
place.
1. They drove to the lake in their new car where they love to fish for bass.
2. The large limousine pulled up to the curb which was loaded with students
for the prom.
3. The new tricycle was smashed on the driveway that had been delivered
yesterday.
4. We showed the pictures to our friends that we had taken at the wedding.
5. We caught several fish with the new bait which we cooked for dinner.
