Hi All, How would you characterize bracketed clauses in the following sentences? If we onlywanted to be happy, it would be easy; but we want to be happier than otherpeople, which is almost always difficult,since we think them happier [than they are]. I refuse to accept the view that mankind is so tragically bound to the starless midnight of racismand war [that the bright daybreak ofpeace and brotherhood can never become a reality]. These seem very different from normal noun, adjective, and adverb clauses. How should I explain these to children?
