    EXERCISE

    2. I know the guy _____ was stalking her.
    3. We were looking for the girl _____ singing style was amazing.

    Just like in Noun Clause, the connector and the subject can sometimes overlap.

    determination.
    7. We have prepared everything that is required for this mission.

    Take out the connector and to be – verbs turn into Ving, except for
    REDUCED MODE ------> passive verbs – Connectors whom and whose can’t be reduced

    --> The man standing there is my brother.
    b. The red book which was on the table is mine. -->The red book on the table is mine.
    c. The car that was stolen last night belongs to my uncle.

    --> English has an alphabet consisting of 26 letters.
    f. Anyone who wants to come with us is welcomed.

    2. Watch out with unpredictable occurrences of the reduced adjective clause. Because, it is not
    always located in the middle or at the end of a sentence.
    a. Jamestown, which was founded in 1607 in Virginia was the first settlement in the New World.
    Jamestown, founded in 1607 in Virginia, was the first settlement in the New World.
