action is the subject of the sentence and the thing doing the action is
optionally included near the end of the sentence. You can use the passive form

emphasized. You can also use the passive form if you do not know who is doing
the action or if you do not want to mention who is doing the action.

goal of the action functions as the sentence subject and the main verb phrase
includes the verb to be and the past participle: The car was
fixed by the mechanic.

Relative Clause
A relative clause is a kind
of subordinate
clause that contains an element whose
interpretation is
provided by an antecedent on
which the subordinate clause is grammatically
dependent;
that is, there is an anaphoric relation
between the relativized element in the
relative clause, and the antecedent on
which it depends.
Typically, a relative clause modifies a noun or noun phrase and uses
some grammatical device to indicate that one of the arguments within the
relative clause has the same referent as that noun or noun phrase.
