Question

a.i walked to the train station,and I caught the 11;15 trian into town.
b. the caar that I want to buy is awfully expensive.
c. before you leave , there's one thing more i should tell you.
D. My friend YTom, whom i've known for a long tome,recently buried his dog.

Answer 1

Use "that" with restrictive clauses. A restrictive clause is one that limits -- or restricts --the identity of the subject in some way. When writing a restrictive clause, introduce it with the word "that" and no comma. (However, if the subject is or was a human being, use "who" to introduce the clause.)

B. The car that I want to buy is awfully expensive. (One hint is that restrictive clauses do not need commas to set them off.)

(Use "which" with nonrestrictive clauses, and set them off with a comma.)

Answer 2

B "That I want to buy" Which car is awfully expensive? The one that I want to buy. It's usually called a restrictive *relative* clause.

Answer 3

B. The caar that I want to buy is awfully expensive.
