(S + {RP + V1} + V1)
The man who came to dinner is my lawyer.      He wants you to give me money.

Now we get to leave things out!

3. The Zero Relative Pronoun Clause
Sometimes you might expect to see a Relative Pronoun, but English speakers may not put it in:
The girl who I loved was sick.  The girl ( ) I loved was sick.

Here's another, with THAT:
The car (that) we bought was old.  The car ( ) we bought was old.
Those mean EXACTLY the same thing.  Here, it doesn't matter AT ALL if you use THAT or not.  Most English speakers use both about equally.  Both are perfectly correct.

So, if you are not sure, then always use the Relative Pronoun. Everyone will understand you perfectly. And now you will understand them if they don't always put it in. (The Zero Relative Pronoun.)

4. The Zero Subject-Verb Clause
Soon we will be able to talk with no words at all...:^)

Here is another way we leave things out, or keep them in....with no problem either way. This is usually with ING verb endings. Here are two sentences:
“Do you know the girl (who is) talking to your mother?” “Do you know the girl ( ) talking to your mother?”

The first sentence has a subject and a verb like the non-embedded Relative Clauses in the first exercise. The second sentence leaves them out. Both are used often and both are completely correct.

Ok, now this is a promise. The last clause we'll show you is the Subordinate Clause.
