Question
- identify the restrictive clause in the following sentence.
the project that was due last week was my favorite assignment yet!
○ that was due last week
○ last week
○ that was due
○ the project
A restrictive clause (also called an essential clause) provides necessary information to identify the noun it modifies. In the sentence, "that was due last week" is a relative clause starting with "that" (a relative pronoun) that restricts "the project" to specify which project is being referred to. "Last week" is an adverbial phrase, "that was due" is incomplete as a restrictive clause here, and "The project" is the noun phrase being modified, not the restrictive clause.
