- 限定修飾的形容詞子句(即關係代名詞前沒有逗點的形容詞子句)中,若關係代名詞為主詞時,該形容詞子句可化簡為分詞片語.
法則如下:
1.刪除該關係代名詞
2.之後的動詞變成現在分詞
3.若動詞為be動詞,變成現在分詞being之後,可將being省略
例:
The girl who danced here yesterday is my sister.
-> The girl dancing here yesterday is my sister.
例:
Who is that boy that is standing over there?
-> = Who is that boy being standing over there?
-> = Who is that boy standing over there?
例:
I like the car which is parked in front of the post office.
=> I like the car (being) parked in front of the post office.
=> I like the car parked in front of the post office.
例:
The recent accidents in our chemistry laboratory which resulted in injuries to two technicians.
=> The recent accidents in our chemistry laboratory resulting in injuries to two technicians.
例:
Even the minor injuries which are sustained by our lab technician colleagues are unacceptable.
=> Even the minor injuries (being) sustained by our lab technician colleagues are unacceptable.

- ~~非限定修飾的形容詞子句中,即使關係代名詞為主詞時,該形容詞子句不能化簡為分詞片語
例:
I met John, who said that he loved Mary very much.
who +be + N
which + be + N
此時就可化簡為先行詞的同位語,即:
1.刪除who 或 which
2.之後的be動詞變成現在分詞being:
3.再將being省略,形成同位語.
例:
I met John, who is a good friend of mine.
=> I met John, a good friend of mine.
注意:同位語可置於主詞前後位置
例:
John,a good friend of mine, came to see me yesterday.
=> A good friend of mine, John came to see me yesterday.
- 屬於限定修飾(即關係代名詞之前無逗點)的形容詞子句中,若關係代名詞為及物動詞的受詞,則該關係代名詞可省略.
例:
The is the boy whom I saw yesterday.
=>This is the boy I saw yesterday.
例:
I enjoy reading the book which I bought yesterday.
=> I enjoy reading the book I bought yesterday.
續前,如關係代名詞為介系詞的受詞,介系詞移至形容詞子句的句尾時,該關係代名詞意可省略
例:
This is a question which you should pay attention to.
=>This is a question you should pay attention to.
例:
This is the house in which he lives.
=This is the house which he lives in.
=This is the house he lives in.
