Am I right in the problems below:

Although Rex behaves well, they take him to obedience class.

dependent clause is Although Rex behaves well and it is used as a noun?

He looks as if he wanted a good home.

dependent clause is as if he wanted a good home and it is used as an an adverb describing how he looks.

No, "Although Rex behaves well" is not a noun. The verb is "take". Who is doing the action here?

And, no, "as if he wanted a good home" is not an adverb. "looks" is a linking verb, therefore the phrase is a predicate adjective describing "he".
Answered by Kelley
They are the ones doing the action so is it a noun?

For the next one my choices as noun adjective or adverb so would it be a noun or an adjective?
Answered by Kelley
For the first one is it adjective and the second still just an adjective?
Answered by Reed
"They" is a pronoun, not a noun. It is the subject of the sentence. "Although" is a preposition, so you have a prepositional phrase describing Rex, or "him", the direct object of the sentence. Who is taken? Him. The phrase describes "him". What describes a noun or pronoun?

I don't see your multiple choice selections. An adjective is an adjective, in this case a predicate adjective, but still an adjective, not an adverb. It describes "he", the subject of the sentence.
