Fell / Fall
1. The initiative saw the number of pirate CD stands fall by 80% in the city and the number of legitimate music sales rise by more than a quarter.
2. The initiative saw the number of pirate CD stands that fell by 80% in the city and the number of legitimate music sales rise by more than a quarter. (Does this sentence have a different meaning from #1? What does it mean when I have 'that' in there? It seems like I can use 'fell' when I use 'that', why is that?)
Thanks
