| Assunto: | The car blue ... |
| Mensagem: |
Hi everybody, Maybe someone can help me. We all know that adjectives come before the nuon they are modifying. OK, now problems. The blue car is not there anymore. Now let´s look at this sentence: The car blue is not there anymore. Our first reaction is to mark it with a red pen and ask the student to rewrite the sentence. But, could it not be a case of reduced adjective clause? The car (which/that is) blue is not there anymore. My question is: Is it correct to use a reduced adjective clause in this situation? If not, why? Thanks, Gilberto |
