The usage of relative pronoun ‘that’ by scouts.
Which of these is correct? Is it accurate to say either one or both?
I live in the house my friend sold to me. My house was so sold by another woman that she sold theirs. a) I live in the house my mom sold me.
Why is “that” not in a sentence?
What is the convention of ‘that’ and when should we wear the relative pronoun?
What is the easiest method to tell someone the truth?
When a relative pronoun
has a subject gap, it is optional. The parent can be altered to correct or to add etc.
Every that -relative clause has a gap, a missing constituent that’s linked to the modified noun phrase. I want a house i (subject gap) Note that the subject in the relative clause
is missing, but it’s anaphorically linked to the noun “house”. When the gap is in the subject position, the relative pronoun is obligatory, at least in standard English; hence, the ungrammatical sentence below.
I live in the house I (object gap) Since the missing constituent in the relative clause is the direct object of
the verb “sold”, the omission of the relative pronoun wont make the sentence ungrammatical.
