Unfortunately, many students found it difficult to construct correct adjective clauses. Students did not know the concept, function of relative pronoun and the use of adjective clause. Furthermore, students also ignored in the use of comma as giving additional information to the meaning of the sentence.This study is aimed to describe and analyze second year students’ grammatical achievements in constructing restrictive and non-restrictive adjective clause.
