Thank you for your response.! It has helped. Sorry my late repply, i have been spinning around the grammar matter.

Then, regarding the first sentence, if i don’t use “that” and hence I want to mean (even if it doesn’t make much sense):The consultant is looking for a cafe [that has comfortable chairs] and provides free internet access ... I would need to repeat the subject (he; the consultant) after the “and” right? I cannot leave the complex sentence without a subject..?

Thanks a lot!

Hi nuriaa,

The consultant is looking for a cafe [that has comfortable chairs] and provides free internet access

1. The consultant is looking for a cafe and The consultant/he provides free internet access (Correct Sentence)
2. The consultant is looking for a cafe and provides free internet access. (less words same meaning as #1, hence better)

So yes you do not necessarily need The consultant/he after "and".

Parallelism - When you connect two things with a connector then parallelism is all about having the right meaning come across clearly with repeated words removed only if there is no dual meaning coming out.

Explanation of the correct sentence:
The consultant is looking for a cafe that has confortable chairs and THAT provides free internet access.

here are two sentences that have been put in parallel in making of the one above:

The consultant is looking for a cafe that has confortable chairs.
The consultant is looking for a cafe THAT provides free internet access.

now if you blindly remove the repeated words then there might be meaning issue.

as you want to mean that cafe provides free access, you need to start with a THAT after "and". Not using THAT would mean the consultant is looking for something and consultant provides free internet access.

Correct explanation.
The 'that' helps in unambiguously specifying that the cafe should provide the free access,and not the consultant
