Kanehsu  +  542933 Fri, 18 Jul 08 06:35 AM Please tell me if this sentence is grammatically correct: "There was one experience from my journey in the Grand Canyon that was memorable." What confuses me about this sentence is that "that was memorable" is an adjective clause. I thought that adjective clauses are supposed to be placed closest to the noun they modify. (So in my opinion, this sentence is saying that the Grand Canyon was memorable, not the experience). The phrases "from my journey" and "in the Grand Canyon" are prepositional phrases. Is it grammatically correct to have a relative clause refer to a noun that is not right next to it? Is it correct to say that the relative clause can refer to the noun before the prepositional phrases? Kanehsu Joined on Fri, Jul 18 2008 New Member 02 Clauses, Nouns

This sentence has a misplaced modifier if the writer meant that experience was memorable and needs to be rewritten as "There was one experience that was memorable from my journey in the Grand Canyon." You already know the rule : Adjective clauses are to be placed closest to the nouns (called antecedents) they modify. 26TMNTJG2PG Joined on Wed, Apr 23 2008 Full Member 266 Clauses, Nouns
