Reductions: Clauses with BE

When a subject-pattern adjective clause
contains BE, the relative pronoun and
BE can often* be omitted:

The woman who is talking to Janet
is her sister. ---> The woman talking
to Janet is her sister.

That man who is from Sweden
speaks six languages. ---> That man
from Sweden speaks six languages.

The people who were injured in
the accident were friends of mine. --->
The people injured in the accident
were friends of mine.

Rephrasing: Clauses with HAVE



Rephrasing: Clauses with HAVE

When an adjective clause contains
HAVE (meaning "own," "possess,"
or "is characterized by", another
kind of change is possible:

Do you know anyone who has
change for a dollar? ---> Do you
know anyone with change for a dollar?

There's only one person who has
blond hair in my class. ---> There's
only one person with blond hair
in my class.
