Difference between Complement Clause & Relative Clause

This video describes the difference between complement Clause and relative clause. Relative clause is a clause that generally modifies a noun or a noun phrase and is often introduced by a relative pronoun (which, that, who, whom, whose). A relative clause connects ideas by using pronouns that relate to something previously mentioned and allows the writer to combine two independent clauses into one sentence. A relative clause is also known as an adjective clause. There are two types of relative clauses: restrictive and nonrestrictive.

Here are a few examples:

The book that she read was important for her literature review. (restrictive)
The participants who were interviewed volunteered to be part of the study. (restrictive)
Walden University, which is entirely online, has main administrative offices in Baltimore and Minneapolis. (nonrestrictive)
A complement clause is a notional sentence or predication that is an argument of a predicate.

Discussion:
The term complement clause is extended by some analysts to include clauses selected by nouns or adjectives.

Examples:

I heard the evidence that he did it.
I am sure that he did it.
I am not certain what we did.
