This website helped me understand an adjectival phrase. It states right on the website that most people know what an adjective is, but they are confused about an adjectival phrase. I was certainly one of those people. After reading through this page I have a better idea of an adjectival phrase. These phrase can help you explain and give better descriptions. Often, when I am teaching I am asking students to write more and give more details. This will help me demonstrate what I mean by that.
An adjectival clause was another thing I was unsure about. I remember it being a choice in our grammar quiz during the first week of class. I had no idea about adjectival clauses or phrases. I only knew adjective. An adjectival clause can come after the noun in a sentence. The website above gave some great examples and how to correctly place commas when using adjectival clauses. I have been writing using these clauses, but have not placed commas correctly.
