Now let us first begin with a sentence.(Sentence is a group of words which make sense.)
1) She is a beautiful girl.
In this sentence ‘beautiful’ is an adjective,
Now see this sentence.
2) She is a girl of great beauty.
In this sentence ‘of great beauty’ is an adjective phrase.(Phrase is a group of words depicting one meaning).
Let us see this sentence.
3) She is a girl who is beautiful.
In this sentence ‘who is beautiful’ is a Clause. (A Clause is a group of words with a subject and a predicate.)
Look at the 3rd sentence carefully. She is a girl can stand alone but who is beautiful cannot stand alone. It needs the support of the first part of the sentence.
Now we shall divide this sentence into 2 parts. She is a girl /who is beautiful. The second part of the sentence needs the support of the first part.
The result is;
She is a girl—Main Clause
Who is beautiful—Subordinate Clause.
Now this subordinate clause says something more about the noun ‘girl’ in the Main Clause.
A word that says something more about a noun is an Adjective and so a clause that says something more is known as an Adjective Clause.
Some more examples of sentences with this Clause;
a) The man who is fat is my grandfather.
b) Raja likes movies that are directed by Manirathnam.
c) The stone which shines the most is the diamond.
I hope you have tried to understand the concept of the Clause Analysis.
We shall see all the types of Clauses one by one.
Try to analyse the sentences given into Main Clause and Subordinate Clause.

MUMBAI, Nov. 26 – The schools division of TCYonline.com, ‘STEPS’, today launched an online test series in Mathematics and Science for the Maharashtra State Board SSC Examination to be conducted in March next year. The whole package, comprising 27 chapter-wise tests and 10 full-length mock tests, is valued at just Rs.600.
The students can access the program from www.steps.tcyonline.com.
This ‘exhaustive’ and ‘scientifically designed’ test series is meant for the students of Class X who want to give the final ‘Midas’s touch’ to their preparation. The tests are structured in such a way that they take the students systematically through the whole syllabus and help them remove all chinks in their preparation, before exposing them to the mock board exams.
The launch of this online test series for Maharashtra students follows the ‘stupendous’ success of such programs for the CBSE and ICSE boards in Northern India.
“The mock SSC exam at the end of the series would help the students gauge their performance before the actual exam. They would be girded up to face any surprise element,” said TCYonline.com CEO, Mr. Kamal Wadhera.

Following Delhi and Maharashtra, the company is targeting West Bengal. “Our objective is to spread our programs throughout the country. Shortly you would see such online test series for all State education boards,” added the optimistic CEO.
This website for the students, www.tcyonline.com has found great favour with some schools, colleges and universities in the country. Of late, some academic institutions have shown keen interest in the company’s elite testing platform.
TCYonline.com’s exhaustive and free material catering to all the major national and international exams coupled with technology-enabled tools is not only becoming a rage amongst students but is also catching the eye of educational institutions and other companies.
