Is this correct sentence?
Hi.
I am willing to make sentence with relative clauses.
For example : some students took the exam. Most of them passes.
I think above sentence should be like this.
-> Some students who took the exam passed.
But the answer is this.
Most of the students who took the exam passed.
I don't have idea what does I wrong?
