Social change refers to the transformation of culture, behavior, social institutions, and social structure over time. We are familiar from Modernization. Modernization refers to the process and impact of becoming more modern.
A dependent, or subordinate, clause contains a subject and a verb or verb phrase but does not express a complete thought. As a result, it cannot stand alone as a sentence. Dependent clauses can function either as noun clauses, adjective clauses, or adverb clauses. An adjective clause is a dependent clause that, like an adjective, modifies a noun or pronoun. Adjective clauses begin with words such as that, when, where, who, whom, whose, which, and why.
A dependent clause in a complex sentence may also be an adjective clause. If it is used as an adjective,âif it modifies a noun or pronoun,âit is an adjective clause. An adjective clause may modify any noun or any word used as a noun in the sentence. Here gentleman (a complement in the main clause) is modified by the adjective clause who was born in the village (a). Whom I wanted is an adjective clause modifying the noun man.
