<p> Identifying and Classifying Subordinate Clauses Identify the subordinate clause in each of the following sentences. Tell whether each clause is used as an adjective, an adverb, or a noun. Then tell which word, if any, it modifies. 1. Emily Dickinson, who was born in 1830 in Amherst, Massachusetts, was a great American poet. 2. She appeared to lead a fairly normal life until she became a recluse in her family's home. 3. There she wrote poems that literary critics now call "great American poetry." 4. Unfortunately, only a few of Dickinson's poems were published while she was alive. 5. After she died in 1886, her other poems were published. 6. I think everyone should read at least some of Dickinson's poetry. 7. Dickinson is a poet whose work I now read often. 8. The poems I have just finished reading are "A Narrow Fellow in the Grass" and Apparently with No Surprise." 9. They rhythms of Dickinson's poems are best appreciated when you read the poems aloud. 10. Whatever I read by Emily Dickinson surprises and inspires me. 11. Even though Dickinson’s poems are short, they are poems that, when analyzed carefully by students who are dutifully ignoring things that distract them, illuminate our place in this universe and that call us to re-examine our fundamental beliefs.</p><p>Identifying and Classifying Subordinate Clauses Identify the subordinate clause in each of the following sentences.
