We will see that in some cases an adjective clause connector is not just a connector; an adjective clause connector; an adjective clause connector can also be the subject of the clause at the same time.
The woman is filling the glass that is on the table.
ADJECTIVE CLAUSE
The glass that is on the table contains milk.
In the first example there are two clauses: woman is the subject of the verb is filling, and that is the subject of the verb is. These two clauses are joined with the connector that. Notice that in this example the word that serves two functions at the same time: it is the subject of the verb is, and it it the connector that joins the two clauses. The adjective clause that is on the table describes the noun glass.
In the second example, there are also two clauses: glass is the subject of the verb contains, and that is the subject of the verb is. In this example that also serves two functions: it is the subject of the verb is, and it is the connector that joins the two clauses. Because that is on the table is an adjective clause describing the noun glass, it directly follows glass.
