What is a relative clause for these two sentences The man good salesman He sold you an expensive car?

The two sentences can be combined into a single sentence with a relative clause like this:

The man who sold you an expensive car is a good salesman.

Here's how it works:

* "The man" is the main subject of the sentence.

* "who sold you an expensive car" is the relative clause. It modifies the noun "man" and provides more information about him.

* "who" is the relative pronoun that connects the relative clause to the main clause.

* "is a good salesman" is the predicate of the sentence, telling us something about the man.
