1. Adjective Clause
It is a Dependent Clause that modifies a Noun.
Basically, Adjective Clauses have similar qualities as Adjectives that are of modifying Nouns and hence the name, Adjective Clause.
These are also called Relative Clauses and they usually sit right after the Nouns they modify.
Examples:- I’m looking for the red book that went missing last week.
- Finn is asking for the shoes which used to belong to his dad.

2. Noun Clause
Dependent Clauses acting as Nouns in sentences are called Noun Clauses or Nominal Clauses.
Examples:
- I like what I hear.
- You need to express that it’s crossing a line for you.
- He knows how things work around here.
These often start with “how,” “that,” other WH- words (What, Who, Where, When, Why, Which, Whose and Whom), if, whether etc.
Can be Subject of a sentence,
the object of a verb,
the object of a preposition,
etc.,
