adjectival , adverbial, nominal

answer: in "whoever wants to is invited to come with us", the dependent clause is "whoever wants to ", which is a nominal clause. moreover, in "talk to the person who is behind the counter", the dependent clause is "who is behind the counter", which is an adjectival clause. finally, in "when i press the button, the computer starts up", the dependent clause is "when i press the button", which is an adverbial clause.

explanation: a dependent clause is a clause that, unlike an independent clause, cannot stand alone because it does not express a complete thought. there are three types of dependent clauses: nominal clauses, adjective clauses and adverbial clauses. the nominal clause in the sentence "whoever wants to is invited to come with us" is "whoever wants to " because it acts as a noun and it is the subject of the sentence. moreover, the adjectival clause in the sentence "talk to the person who is behind the counter" is "who is behind the counter" because it is describing a noun ("person") and modifying it. moreover, this clause starts with the relative pronoun "who". finally, the adverbial clause in the sentence "when i press the button, the computer starts up" is "when i press the button"   because it is modifying a verb and it is introduced by the subordinating conjunction "when".
