Relative clause: He invited her to eat out on a day. It rained heavily on that...

[Ann Nguyen]

Hi everyone,

Could you please combine a pair of sentences using relative clause for me:

"He invited her to eat out on a day. It rained heavily on that day."

I have tried to do it, and my sentences are:

1. The day on which he invited her to eat out rained heavily.

2. He invited her to eat out on a day which rained heavily.

Can you tell me there is anything wrong in these sentences, if so, please give me the right one.

Many thanks,

[Branqa]

I'd rather say it this way:

He invited her to eat out on a day on which it rained heavily.

in both sentences you came up with, you miss that "it" for the expression "it rains" ; the "day" turns out to be the subject, which I consider an unacceptable option.

oh, Branga, I don't think that in Relative clause, we should repeat "it" anymore.
