Reduced relative & participle clauses

Reduced relative clauses skraćuju opise osobe ili stvari; participle clauses mogu dati dodatnu informaciju bez pune klauze.

Aktivno -ing

Who/which + active verb često se skraćuje u -ing kada radnja opisuje imenicu.

CorrectThe woman sitting there is my manager.
IncorrectThe woman sit there is my manager.

Who is sitting → sitting.

Pasivno -ed / V3

Which/that + passive može se svesti na particip prošli.

CorrectThe data collected yesterday are confidential.
IncorrectThe data collecting yesterday are confidential.

Podaci su prikupljeni: collected.

Perfect participle

Having + past participle pokazuje radnju pre radnje glavne klauze.

CorrectHaving reviewed the file, he approved it.
IncorrectHaving review the file, he approved it.

Having reviewed označava raniju završenu radnju.

Zapamtite: Reduced relative mora zadržati isto značenje i jasnu vezu sa imenicom koju opisuje.
