Difference between adjective & noun clause
1. Like an adjective, an adjective clause modifies a noun or pronoun, answering questions such as which? or what kind of?
For example:Write down the names of the people who are in your group.This adjective clause modifies the noun“people.”
1. Noun clauses are not modifiers, so they are not subordinators like adjectives and adverbs, and they cannot stand alone. They must function within another sentence pattern, always as nouns.For example:I think that grandparents should help more in raising their grandchildren.This noun clause is the object of the verb “think.”

Difference between adjective & noun clause
2. Most adjective clauses begin with "who," "whom," "which," or "that.“. Sometimes the relative pronoun (that's) is omitted. Occasionally, an adjective clause is introduced by a relative adverb, usually "when," "where," or "why.“Example:The book that is on the floor should be returned to the library.Home is the place where you relax.
2. A noun clause usually begins with a relative pronoun like "that," "which," "who," "whoever," "whomever," "whose," "what," and "whatsoever." It can also begin with the subordinating conjunctions "how," "when," "where," "whether," and "why.“Example:Whoever wins the game will play in the tournament.We raise whatever we need.

3. A noun clause can be the subject or object of a verb, a subject, subject complement, direct object, or object of a preposition.4. The noun clause cannot be similarly omitted.

Tips to detect noun & adjective clause
1. An adjective clause nearly always appears immediately following the noun or pronoun answering questions such as which? or what kind of?
2. If the clause follows a verb, you know that it’s a noun clause and not an adjective clause.
3. If you see a sentence start with who/what/when/how/where/\whether and it’s an indirect question— then it’s a noun clause.

I went back to the Devon School not long ago, and found it looking oddly newer than when I was a student there fifteen years before. It seemed more sedate than I remembered it, more perpendicular and straight-laced, with narrower windows and shinier woodwork, as though a coat of varnish had been put over everything for better preservation. But, of course, fifteen years before there had been a war going on. . . .I didn’t entirely like this glossy new surface, because it made the school look like a museum, and that’s exactly what it was to me, and what I did not want it to be. In the deep, tacit way in which feeling becomes stronger than thought, I had always felt that the Devon School came into existence the day I entered it, was vibrantly real while I was a student there, and then blinked out like a candle the day I left.—from A Separate Peace, by John Knowles
