Nowadays, in this 21st century, students, especially EFL learners, should learn English as Indonesia has admitted that English is an important subject. In learning English, grammar has an important role. In larger language units, an adjective appears as a clause known as an adjective clause. For mastering the adjective clause, people need to understand the relative pronouns that define a noun or pronoun. Generally, the relative pronouns are who, whom, whose, that, and which. In the process of learning English, students felt hesitate to distinguish the different use of relative pronouns. This study aims to identify the kinds and the dominant adjective clauses in the texts on students’ workbooks in high school education. In this study, the writer conducted qualitative research by using discourse analysis. The subject of this research is the English texts from students’ workbooks in high school education. The technique of collecting data that are used is documentation. Then, the data results were analyzed based on Oshima and Hogue’s (2006) theory. This study showed that there were sixty five adjective clause found in the texts on students’ workbook. The kinds of adjective clauses found are thirty three relative pronouns as subject (50.8%), two relative pronouns as object (3.1%), one possessive adjective clause (1.5%), and twenty nine adjective clauses of time and place (44.6%). The writer suggests teachers to guide the students to understand the text, especially a text that might contain an adjective clause. Here, the teacher should realize each adjective clause and apply it in the teaching-learning process. The writer also suggests students becoming more aware of using correct grammatical patterns, especially adjective clauses, in spoken and written English. While for future researchers, it will be better to research more about the study of adjective clauses to use this research as a resource.
