grammar: Usage of relative pronoun #1 (permalink) Thu Mar 06, 2008 15:38 pm   grammar: Usage of relative pronoun
 

Please explain how to reduce relative clauses to To-infinitive phrases.
I have 2 following sentences, combine them with a relative pronoun; then reduce it to a phrase:
"He doesn't let anything disturb him. He isn't that type of person."
Please help me.

He doesn't let anything disturb him. He isn't that type of person.

He isn't the type of person who lets anything disturb him.

He's not the type of person to let anything disturb him.
