    You have answered for the question made by Mr Jain.
    Why don't we say "You know the boy wearing my shirt" in place of"you know the boy who has worn my shirt" It gives perfect sense I believe so. I am not convinced the answer given by you. Please let me know. It's very urgent. Is there any way to get perfect tenses or past tenses to be a reduced clauses?

    • @ShulaOudean
      @ShulaOudean 3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      If you say "You know the boy wearing my shirt" then the boy is wearing the shirt right now, in present progressive tense, which means he is actually wearing it this moment. If you say "You know the boy who has worn my shirt" that means the boy wore the shirt some time in the past, but not necessarily right now. So the two sentences do not mean the same thing. Does that help?

      But in your explanation, you said you can't reduce it because "worn" is describing the shirt not the boy. You would have to rearrange the word order to make the word " worn" come after the word "shirt".
      What does this mean at all regarding my doubt?
      For past tense Is not it applicable?
      Why don't we say "you know the boy worn my shirt" please explain it.
      For modal verbs, is it applicable?

      @@EnglishMentor-f8f If you use the word "worn" as an adjective to describe the shirt, you would say, "He's wearing the worn shirt" but it's better to say "worn out" to make it distinct from the verb "worn", so you can say "He's wearing the worn out shirt that his mother gave him" or "He's wearing the worn out shirt given to him by his mother". That is different from if you say "You know the boy who has worn my shirt" Which means he has borrowed and worn a shirt of yours some time in the past. Does that answer your question?

    Thank you Ma'am for this video about reduced relative clause.
    in Present perfect tense. is this possible to reduce in clause?
    For instance " The book which have been written by University Professors is a great book.
    = The book written by University Professors is a great book." Is it possible?

    3rd way - Can we use the 2nd way instead, without changing the meaning? For example, "The money collected will go to the new orphanage" and "All the food items scanned need to be put into bags".

    Is it possible to use the third type of reduced relative clause with past or future tenses?
    something like -
    The money that was collected went to the new orphanage.
    All the food items that were scanned needed to be put into bags.
    How to "reduce" this sentence?

    • @englishmuscle3954
      @englishmuscle3954  3 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      You could say "The collected money when to the new orphanage" or "All the scanned food items needed to be put into bags". The words "collected" and "scanned" become adjectives describing the nouns that come after them.

    Thanks for replying

    • @ShulaOudean
      @ShulaOudean 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Yes, you could drop the "which" and just say, "The police found the money we lost." In that case, the "which" is understood and not required. That is how someone normally speaks, but when writing the same sentence, they might add the "which" just to be more clear. Written English is usually more clear than spoken English.

    • @englishmuscle3954
      @englishmuscle3954  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Yes, in that sentence, it is already clear without the "which". You could just say "The police found the money we lost." However, relative pronouns provide clarity, so if you have to distinguish between money we lost and money we didn't lose, you would need a relative pronoun. For example, The police found the money we lost, but they also found money we didn't lose.

    Thank you so much for your lecture! It has been so hard to understand Non restrictive phrase. But I finally get to understand, watching your video. But something always bugs me. Isn’t it supposed to drop (relative pronoun + be verb) when we make participle phrase ? Like people (who is) living in the Middle East eat a lot of hummus. Because I learned that we only can omit object relative pronoun or subjective relative pronoun + be verb.

    • @englishmuscle3954
      @englishmuscle3954  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      You do not have to omit the relative pronoun and be verb, but when you do, that is why we called it a "reduced" relative clause. If you don't omit them and just make it a regular relative clause, it is also correct, though it is longer and therefore harder to say or write. Does that answer your question?

    • @englishmuscle3954
      @englishmuscle3954  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      If there is no "was" or "is", and it just says "being collected", it implies that it is happening right now. If you add the "was" for past tense or "is" for present tense, then you need to add the relative pronoun and it is no longer a reduced relative clause but a regular relative clause. Does that answer your question?

      Hi Amit, I will answer your question: In the present perfect form: You know the boy who HAS WORN my shirt. This form says that he wore the shirt in the past. You can't reduce it because "worn" is describing the shirt, not the boy. You would have to re-arrange the word order to make the word "worn" come after the word shirt. Then it would work. For example [in reduced form]: "This is my shirt worn by the boy you know." [Not reduced: This is my shirt that was worn by the boy you know.] In the present progressive form: You know the boy who IS WEARING my shirt. This means that he's wearing the shirt right now. The present progressive from can be reduced by saying: You know the boy wearing my shirt. You can eliminate "who is" in this sentence because "wearing my shirt" comes right after the word "boy" who is being described. The relative clause or reduced relative clause MUST come immediately after the noun it is describing. Does that answer your question?
