a statement "made" #1 (permalink) Tue Oct 11, 2011 2:58 am   a statement "made"
 

Hi,

I have a question on the structure of the sentence below:

This is a statement of Larry Page made just a few weeks ago.

Here, made is the past participle form for make. I thought the two sentences below connected this way:

This is a statement of Larry Page.
It was made just a few weeks ago.
-> This is a statement of Larry Page that was made just a few weeks ago.
-> This is a statement of Larry page (that was) made just a few weeks ago.

Am I right? Is there other ways that explain "made" there? Please let me know.

Thanks in advance,
sweetpumpkin

This is a statement of Larry Page that was made just a few weeks ago.

This is a statement of Larry Page, made just a few weeks ago.

This is a statement of Larry Page, which was made just a few weeks ago.

I think all of the above are appropriate

I find the use of 'of' very strange there. I'd use 'by'.
