REDUCTION OF RELATVIE CLAUSES

Reduced relative clauses refers to the the shortening of a relative clause which modifies the subject of a sentence. Reduced relative clauses can modify the subject NOT the object of a sentence.

Omit: Relative pronoun + verb ---> change verb to -ing form.

  1. The man who works at Kipa lives in Ankara.
  2. The man working at Kipa lives in Ankara.

In the examples above, who works at Kipa modifies (provides information about) the subject of the sentence 'The man'.

Reduce to a Prepositional Phrase
  1. Remove the relative pronoun
  2. Remove the verb 'be'
  3. Place the prepositional phrase after the modified noun
Examples:
  • The box which was on the table was made in Italy. ->
    • Reduced: The box on the table was made in Italy.
  • The woman who was at the meeting spoke about business in Europe. ->
    • Reduced: The woman at the meeting spoke about business in Europe.

What do you consider "being late".

Hi All!!!!!!!!!!!
I have a question for you and I was wondering if you could please let me know your ideas. Are you late if you come to an appointment/class if you are 10 minutes late? 1 minute late? 30 minutes late? (for example). I'm interested in your "social time" perspective. Please comment on the survey below :) Thankyou
