LC: to create complex sentences with relative pronoun omitted
Let's look again at how to
omit (remove) the relative pronoun
from a sentence with a relative clause.
1. The vorpal sword, which he carried everywhere, was a trusty weapon.
2. The vorpal sword he carried everywhere was a trusty weapon.
How is the first sentence different to the second?
Discuss with your partner.
We remove (omit) the relative pronoun
who
which
that
and we omit the commas.
Look at these examples:
The Jabberwock, which was whiffling through the Tulgey Wood, had sharp claws.
The Jabberwock whiffling through Tulgey Wood had sharp claws.
Sometimes, we also
omit the verb.
The father warned the son, who he loved dearly, to beware the Jubjub bird.
The father warned the son he loved dearly to beware the Jubjub bird.
The vorpal blade, which he had polished that morning, glinted in the sun.
The vorpal blade he had polished that morning glinted in the sun.
Following the pattern above, how would you
omit (remove)
the relative pronoun in this sentence?
Do you have to remove the verb 'was'?
The creature, which was lumbering through the forest, terrified the boy.
The creature
