Being able to adeptly use adjective clauses in speaking and writing is useful for upper level English learners. Adjectives and adjective clauses are very common in English, so students need to be able to understand them when they see them or hear them. Students often struggle to bring complexity to their speaking and writing and adjective clauses can be a great way to do this.

Not the best course I have taken. Not because it wasn't a good course but I found it kind of difficult to really understand.

It was so screamingly boring that I couldn't complete it. I am a writing teacher, fiction coach, and published author. There has to be a more interesting way to present this!
