Now that we've learned about both Adjective Clauses, let's look at how they are used with Quantifiers. Recall that Quantifiers are words that tell you how much of something is. Here are some examples:
- a lot
- enough
- few
- many
There are a few types of these adjective clause combinations. Let's walk through all three of them.
Quantifier + Preposition + Relative Pronoun
Adjective Clauses with quantifiers help you combine a sentence with an non-identifying clause using a relative pronoun (whom, whose, that). The formula for these types of adjective clauses are:
One of Titanic's strengths is its wide collection of actors, most of whom are well distinguished. (whom refers to the head noun, actors).
Preposition + Relative Pronoun
Jack meets Rose on the Titanic and rescues her from an arranged marriage about which she is despairing.
Noun In Place of Quantifier
Sometimes a noun can appear instead of a quantifier!
James Cameron is a famous director of many award winning films, examples of which are Avatar, Terminator, and Aliens.
