Discuss: Which relative pronouns can be deleted in your sentences? When can you go without the relative pronouns like this?
For the sentence 1:
“The photo that (which) he showed to me was a photo of a famous cultural relic in Egypt.”
“The photo he showed to me was a photo of a famous cultural relic in Egypt.”
In some cases, we can make the clause shorter by …
dropping the relative pronoun like who, that and which when the relative pronoun is the object of the clause in restrictive relative clauses.
We know “that” is the object of the clause because it is followed by the pronoun “I”.
Work in pairs and play a game of definitions. One asks the questions below and the other answers them with relative clauses. Work out two more questions of your own.
EXAMPLE
A: What is an exit?
B: An exit is the door where/through which you can leave a building.
