Questions on what looks to be sort of defining words
1. Is the word 'that' optional here? Would you say the word 'that' which placed between a noun and a subject of a clause that follows the noun is optional in almost all sentence situations/cases?
The term XXX expresses the amount of money you get paid for the work (that??) you do.
Her XXX is the amount she gets for the work (that??) she does.
2. Do you think the ellipted part that is in parentheses is necessary here? Would your explanation be different if this were a sort of word definition? If you think it is necessary, would you say the Whiz Deletion ( I think that is the term to use for this type of thing) not for all cases we might encounter in the writing world?
XXX refers to the work (that was) done.
3. Do you say that the words 'huge amount' goes with the word 'good things' too? Do you have a tip or tips for writing a series of words in a sentence like the one below?
XXX is the possession of a huge amount of money, property or other good things.
