Grammar
Is my guess right?
0 Hello, 02 br
02 br
00 Let's consider the following sentences (meaning isn't important, only grammar correctness matters): 02 br
00 They want to buy the house being sold unfurnished in order to save money.(1a) 02 br
00 They have bought their house sold unfurnished to save money.(1b) 02 br
00 First question: Are they grammatically correct? 02 br
00 Second question: Are the sentences (1a and 1b) just the short versions of the following sentences (2a and 2b): 02 br
00 They want to buy the house, 01 font 00 which is 02 font 00 being sold unfurnished in order to save money. (2a) 02 br
00 They have bought their house, 01 font 00 which was 02 font 00 sold 01 font 00 when it was 02 font 00 unfurnished, to save money. (2b) 02 br
00 Or is there any other difference between versions 1 and 2? 02 br
00 Thank you very much in advance! 0-

(1a) 00 It's OK, except that it's not clear whether the phrase 'to save money' relates to 'being sold unfurnished' or 'They want to buy the house'. (1b) 00 No.
