Hi

Can someone explain to me what is a reduced relative clause and copula ascriptive clause.

Thank you

I don't understand what you mean. The sentence you provided has only 1 clause and that's the very main clause not relative clause.

[Pkjoana709394]

I was asked to rewrite it. So the result will be clauses, one of them will be a reduced relative clause and the matrix clause will be a copula ascriptive clause.

[Blue_Snow]

Could you please give me your idea? There's only one clause in the sentence. So what did you call ONE OF THEM?

[Pkjoana709394]

I think the instructions are pretty straightforward and I don't think you are getting the point. any thanks for your attention

My only answer to your question can just be John lives in a house which is a brick house. And what is a copular ascriptive clause?

[Blue_Snow]

Maybe In a brick house lives John or Living in a brick house is John. But those are inversion rather than reduced relative clause.

[Haihao]

Being afraid of fire, John lives in a brick house.

The house John lives in is brick.
