Hey all,
I need t get some basic clarification in these concepts.
Use of Relative pronouns:
The relative pronouns who, which, that, whom and who modify the nouns immediately preceding them never mind there is a comma infront or not.( i.e They might be restrictive or non restictive)
The use of -ing phrases followed by a comma modifies the entire clause. (i.e. The subject of the clause). If not preceded by a comma then it modifies the noun preceding it.
What about the -ed participles ? What do they modify ?
And what if the a prepositional phrase comes between the noun and the relative pronoun. SHould the relative pronoun modify the noun or the object of the prepositional phrase.
And if there are options with all these which is the best one to choose.
Please clarify.
