A COMMON MISTAKE: ADDING EXTRA PRONOUNS
In a relative clause, we do not use words like he or she after who or which. This is because who and which take the place of
he or she
Example:A man who he spends all his money is a
fool.
A man who spends all his money is a fool.
Relative clauses without a relative pronoun
In informal English, we often leave out the relative
