Unit 93. Relative clauses 2: clauses with and without who / that / which

Unit 93; Part A

Look at these example sentences from Unit 92:
93.1.jpg

You must use who / that / which when it is the subject oi the relative clause. So you cannot say 'The woman lives next door is a doctor' or 'Where is the cheese was in the fridge?'

Unit 93; Part B

Sometimes who / that / which is the object of the verb. For example: 93.2.jpg

When who / that / which is the object, you can leave it out. So you can say:
   •    The woman I wanted to see was away.    or   The woman who I wanted to see ...
   •    Have you found the keys you lost?    or   ... the keys that you lost?
   •    The dress Liz bought doesn't fit her very well. or   The dress that Liz bought ...
   •    Is there anything I can do?   or   ... anything that I can dot

Note that we say:
        the keys you lost (not the keys you lost them)
        the dress Liz bought (not the dress Liz bought it)

Unit 93; Part C

Note the position of prepositions (in/to/for etc.) in relative clauses:
93.3.jpg

   •     Are these the books you were looking for?   or   ... the books that / which you were ...
   •     The woman he fell in love with left him after a month. or   The woman who / that he ...
   •     The man I was sitting next to on the plane talked all the time. or   The man who / that I was sitting next to ...

Note that we say:
      the books you were looking for (not the books you were looking for them)

Unit 93; Part D

You cannot use what in sentences like these (see also Unit 92C):

   •    Everything (that) they said was true. (not Everything what they said)
   •    I gave her all the money (that) I had. (not all the money what I had)

What = 'the thing(s) that':
   •    Did you hear what they said? (= the things that they said)
