What is the difference ?

 

Could you please explain me what is the difference between that which is shown below;

 

a) I have a lot of work which I must do. (Adjectival clauses)

b) He can't decide what he should do. (Noun clauses)

 

I feel as if we reckon them with the same category.

Could you tell me how to decide which one is Adj or noun clause ?? for what ?

  • Dear Bill,

    How I can thank you, I do not know at all. I am appreciated.

    As you know I am obsessive with english grammar. The time when I deeply struggle against solving some question, I can be confused easily.

    You open a window to get it. Especially those words was a golden key for me;

     

    "But an adjectival clause, unlike most adjectives, will usually follow the noun instead of being in front of the noun. So if a noun is followed by a clause that describes the noun, the clause is adjectival."

     

    it was a good emphasis to me;

    "The whole clause actually takes the place of a single noun."


    and so, your examples very clarify me.

     

    God Bless you.

    Take care always Bill,

    Selma,
