- No Relative Pronouns
 
- Some relative pronouns can be left out of a sentence.When a relative pronoun is followed by the subject* of a relative clause, it can be left out.-The real estate agent that we met was very kind.(That is followed by the clause's subject, so it can be left out.)-The real estate agent we met was very kind.Relative pronouns followed by a verb* cannot be left out.-The real estate agent that helped us was very kind.(That is followed by a verb, so it cannot be left out.)
