Exercise 3
Decide which of these sentences can have the who or that removed.
1 The film that I saw was exciting.
2 The house that we bought was very old.
3 The man who showed us round was very polite.
4 The instruction manual that came with the video was useless.
5 The policeman who we asked was helpful.
6 The computer that my brother bought was expensive.
7 The people that we met were fantastic.
8 The fireworks that they set off were stupendous.
9 The computer that sits on my desk is rather noisy.
10 The children who live next door are very friendly.
Language point 76 – relative clauses
with prepositions
We saw in Language point 75 that we can change:

We phoned the restaurant
into
The restaurant (that) we phoned
Now look what happens when we add a
PREPOSITION
:
We went to the restaurant
→ The restaurant (that) we went to
The preposition goes to the end when we turn the sentence into a
relative. This happens even when we leave out the joining word who
or that, as when Justine and Helen say in Dialogue 2:
(We went to the restaurant)
The one we went to
(We got thrown out of the restaurant)
The one we got thrown out of
Here are some more examples:
(James was talking to the woman)
The woman James was talking to
214
(The children are playing with the ball)
The ball the children are playing with
And here’s another example from the Dialogue:
(Most people don’t know about the public garden)
A public garden that most people don’t know about
In more formal English the preposition doesn’t move, and which is
added to it. But remember from the last Language point that we
don’t use which in
RELATIVE CLAUSES
in colloquial English:
‘A public garden about which most people don’t know

’
Exercise 4

Dialogue 3
Fiona has been stopped in the street by a market researcher, who is
asking her what she likes on TV.
M
ARKET
Now, first of all, could you tell me how much time
RESEARCHER
: you spend every day watching TV?
F
IONA
: Goodness! Let me think – well, on weekdays I’m
usually back from work at about 5.30, and I gener-
ally switch the television on as soon as I come in.
216
M/
RESEARCHER
: Do you always leave the TV on all evening?
F
IONA
: I usually do, yes. I probably have it on too much,
actually, because I’m certainly not always watching
it.
M/
RESEARCHER
: Now – what kind of programme do you like best?
F
IONA

: Well, I like drama and nature programmes a lot.
And I often watch the soaps.
M/
RESEARCHER
: I see. And what about the late news bulletins?
F
IONA
: I’ve usually gone to bed by then!
M/
RESEARCHER
: Do you watch morning TV at all?
F
IONA
: I never watch TV in the mornings because I’m
never in the house. During the week I always leave
very early for work, and I have yoga classes every
weekend on both Saturday and Sunday mornings.
M/
RESEARCHER
: And finally, what do you think about the amount
of TV you watch every week?
F
IONA
: I definitely watch too much, but I find it really
relaxing after a day’s work, so I probably won’t
change!
M/
RESEARCHER
: Thanks for your time and your help.
F

IONA
: Not at all.
