Hello there!

I was a question in regards of  clause.


Halema'uma where the legendary Pele, Hawaiian goddess of fire, is said to live. (relative clause, as it defive Halema'uma???)

and cools where is lands (advervial clase, as it modfy the verb cools?)


It was where harmless fairy tale witches threw their eyes of newt and toes of frog.  (I have no idea for that one. I doubt its a noun clause!!!)

Is there someone that can hepl? Thank you really much!!!

Hi,

I have a question about clauses.


Halema'uma where the legendary Pele, Hawaiian goddess of fire, is said to live. (relative clause, as it defines Halema'uma???)
Yes, it's a relative clause that is adjectival. I assume you know that this whole utterance is not a proper sentence, as it lacks a main clause.

Big Smile [:D]  I thought Pele was the Brazilian god of football .Big Smile [:D]

and cools where is lands (adverbial clase, as it modifies verb cools?) The front part of this sentence fragment seems to be missing. Can you supply it to us? The words you have given us here make no sense. Are you sure you have no typos? eg should 'is' be 'it'?

It was where harmless fairy tale witches threw their eyes of newt and toes of frog.  (I have no idea for that one. I doubt its a noun clause!!!) Why do you doubt that? It seems like a noun clause to me.

If you'll permit me to say so, you should get into the habit of checking your spelling after you type a post. Smile [:)]

Best wishes, Clive
