A formula
THAT or WHOM can be dropped when the modified noun is the object of the modifying clause.
Example:
The movie THAT we watched last friday was scary
The movie we watched last friday was scary
Here the modifying clause is WE WATCHED LAST FRIDAY. The modified noun is THE MOVIE. But THE MOVIE is the subject of the sentence. Not object.
Can you explain me what I'm missing here?
