Unit 11: Adjective Clauses: Review and Expansion

One of the most interesting part of this section of grammar is know when you can omit the relative pronoun and when you cannt, for example when the relative pronoun refer to a subject, never and ever ever you can omit it because it refer to a subject, but if the relative pronoun is in the complement then is possible to omit or replaced by that ( except if the relative pronoun is in a nonidentifying clauses).. so all this is posible just in a identifying adjective clauses for nonidentifying is imposible to do it because is a nonidentifying clause.

Examples:

-Harriet is a woman whom I respect. ( whom can be replaced by that or omited, because is "whom I respect" is a identifying clause)

-Harvey, whose house we0re renting, is a lawyer. ( whose cannt be omitted because is a nonidentifiying clause )
