Explanation · İngilis + Azərbaycan
That is common for things and people in defining clauses. Sometimes you can omit it when it is the object of the relative clause.
| Role of "that" in clause | Omit? | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Subject of relative clause | No — keep pronoun | The book that sells best … (*The book sells best …) |
| Object of relative clause | Often yes (informal) | The book (that) I bought … |
| After preposition | whom/which, not that | The person to whom I wrote … (formal) |
| Full clause | Reduced | When |
|---|---|---|
| people who work in tech | people working in tech | active meaning |
| data that was collected | data collected | passive meaning |
| someone who has experience | someone having experience | less common; formal |
If removing that/who makes the sentence unclear, keep the pronoun.
