Verb followed by relative clause
English Language & Usage Asked by nanu1 on April 22, 2021
- The boy who ate fruit came.
- The boy came who ate fruit.
Here both sentences have relative clause "who ate fruit" and a principal clause "the boy came". Here is my question: Both sentences convey same meaning right? If they’re different what is the difference in meaning? And could we use verb of principal clause after a relative clause as in sentence 1 and word order of sentence 1 is correct?
