Can someone explain please?? (Clauses)
Look at the sentence:
—> That’s the actor who was a pilot in Star Wars.
The relative pronoun is the subject so we cannot omit it.
I know that we can omit the relative pronoun if it’s the object.
My question is :
Why can the relative pronoun be omitted from these following sentences ?
1)
—> My brother, who is a former professional hokey player, coaches elite high school hockey.
becomes:
—> My brother, a former professional hokey player, coaches elite high school hockey.
2)
—> Teachers who work online have flexible schedules.
becomes:
—> Teachers working online have flexible schedules.
3)
—> The man that was bitten by the dog went to hospital.
becomes:
—> The man bitten by the dog went to hospital.
