This means that the clause cannot stand alone as a sentence as it must be connected to a main clause. The purpose of an adjective clause is to describe a noun or modifies a noun or pronoun in the main clause. Other than that, adjective clause can be seen as the one that combines two sentence in a sentence.

Confused?
Fret not, examples are below.

Firstly, a bit of extra information regarding main clauses.

A main clause or also known as independent clause must contain a subject and a verb. For example,

Mary kicked the can.
Subject: Mary
Verb: kicked

The sentence Mary kicked the can can stand on its own as a sentence however a sentence that only have adjective clauses cannot stand alone. For example,

Mary, who was wearing a red dress
kicked the can.

After we remove the main clause from the sentence above, it will become

who was wearing a red dress

This is called a fragment
and to avoid fragments, one should always link the adjective clause with the main clause.
 
You can test your understanding by doing the question below.

Construct a sentence/s using adjective clauses without fragments.

Essential Clauses
An adjective clause is essential when we need the information it provides therefore essential clauses do not require commas.For example,

The fruits that my grandmother harvested are mostly apples and strawberries.

Fruits are nonspecific thus to know which ones we were referring to, the information must be in the adjective clause. Therefore it becomes an essential adjective clause and will not be needing any commas.


Nonessential clauses
Nonessential clauses are when we do not need the information in the adjective clause or simply when it has a more specific noun. This causes the clause to require a comma to separate it from the rest of the sentence. For example,

They sell oranges, which is my favorite fruit.

Test your understanding by making one or two sentences with adjective clauses using correct punctuation.
