Can relative pronouns be omitted in relative clauses?

Yes, relative pronouns can be omitted in relative clauses, but only when they are not the subject of the clause. This is known as a reduced relative clause. The omission of the relative pronoun is possible when it is followed by a non-finite verb form (such as a participle or an infinitive) or when it is preceded by a preposition. However, it is important to note that the relative pronoun cannot be omitted if it is the subject of the relative clause.
