¿Qué es una cláusula adjetival? Es una cláusula que se usa en lugar de un adjetivo. (What is an adjective clause? It is a clause used in place of an adjective.)
ejemplos:
1) Tengo una casa amarilla. (I have a yellow house.)
- ¨amarilla¨ es un adjetivo que describe ¨una casa.¨ (Yellow is an adjective that
describes ¨house.¨
2) Tengo una casa que es amarilla. (I have a house that is yellow.)
- ¨que es amarilla¨ es una cláusula que se usa en lugar del adjetivo ¨amarilla.¨ Sirve de adjetivo. Si lo que uno describe con la cláusula es real y conocido, se usa el
indicativo en la cláusula. (¨that is yellow¨ is a clause that is used in place of
the adjective ¨yellow.¨ If what one describes with the clause is real and known,
the indicative is used in the clause.)
3) Quiero una casa que sea amarilla. (I want a house that is yellow.)
- ¨que sea amarilla¨ es una cláusula que se usa en lugar del adjetivo ¨amarilla.¨
Sirve de adjetivo. Si lo que uno describe con la cláusula es de una existencia
incierta , desconocida, inexistente, se usa el subjuntivo en la cláusula. (¨that is
amarilla¨ is a clause that is used in place of the adjective ¨amarilla.¨ It serves as an
adjective. If what one describes with the clause is of an unknown or denied
existence or unknown, the subjunctive is used in the clause.
