Question

Identify the main clause in the sentence below. Then decide if the subordinate clause is used as noun, adjective, or adverb.

Answer 1

The main clause is "Chris's chief interest was tennis".
The subordinate clause is "Which he was just learning to play" and it is an adjective clause because it describes what the "tennis" was like. Tennis is an object and this subordinate clause further describes that it is the tennis that he was trying to learn.
