I think you mean adjective phrase but I am not sure what you want to do. Do you want to make adjective phrases that will modify the nouns mahjong and unicorn, or do you want to make adjective phrases that contain those words within the adjective phrases?
Even though the word you used, with, suggests the second, I am not sure. What do you want to do? |

HI canadian45,
I must write sentences with adjective clause (restrictive) and I must use these words mah-jongg in one sentence, unicorn in the other.For example, a fortune teller is a person who can see into the future.
Mah-jongg is a game which.................( I don't know this game,its features,how people play it)
I hope you will understand my explanation. _________________ Either nothing is truth, or the truth is unknown to us...

. A fortune teller is a person who can see into the future. Mah-jongg is a game that is very popular in Japan. A unicorn is a mythical horse that has a single horn in the middle of its forehead. A restrictive adjective clause is a dependent clause which modifies and identifies its noun referent. . _________________ Native English teacher at Mister Micawber's |

hi medeya2012
1...I am sorry I misunderstood your question. Even though you said ''clause'', something about the way I interpreted your question made me think phrase.
2...I have a better sentence about fortune tellers. A fortune teller is a person who takes money from gullible people by claiming fortune tellers can see into the future. :wink:
3...gullible also gullable, adj; easily duped or cheated |

medeya2012 Your sentence is grammatically correct; it's a good sentence. I just changed it because I wanted to criticize fortune tellers. I wasn't criticizing your English. Sorry for the confusion. |

Hi medeya2012
How about these sentences:
- You can always criticize me. - You can criticize me anytime.
You may also use may. It just sounds a bit more formal than can. ;)

hi medeya2012
"Thanks for such an exact found sentence." is not a good sentence. Why did you use the word found ? What is found supposed to mean in that sentence?
"Thanks for such an exact sentence." is a much better sentence. |
