Clause and Tenses
Can you help me to underline the subordinate clause in the sentence and describe its function? Also I would like to know why it belongs to the function defined.
1.They talked about the way Mary dressed.

Hi guys,
They talked about the way Mary dressed .
The main clause is 'They talked about the way'.
The subordinate clause is '(that) Mary dressed'. This describes 'the way', so it is an adjectival clause.
Best wishes, Clive

1. Does it mean that using 'in which' still keep the subordinate clause as an adjectival clause?
2. Why when we are using 'how', the subordinate clause will become a noun clause?
3. Does 'how' never appear in an adjectival clause but always appear in the noun clause?
Thank you.

Hi,
1. Does it mean that using 'in which' still keep the subordinate clause as an adjectival clause? Yes. You can see this better if you change the word order to say, rather awkwardly, they talked about the way which Mary dressed in.
