Grammar 21.1 RelativeClauses A relative clause is a sentence which describes a noun. In Japanese, the relative clause comes before the noun, usually in the Plain Form. If there is a subject in the relative clause, it is generally followed by particles or "CO". This is the cake that I made. Who is that teacher conducting the lesson? ^ ^ ^ Astsi'o The student who is wearing a red T-shirt is Mike. Do you remember the person to whom you spoke on the phone yesterday? 21.2 Potential expression (I can do...) There are two ways to express possibility in Japanese; one with " C and the other, with the potential form of a verb, which will be introduced in Lesson 27." C is a little more formal than the potential form of a verb. The dictionary form of the verb comes before the C t. Dictionary form of a verb + C b # S ' ^ ^ ^ v* rv'sv; u / rt 't.j' i ' 3
eg. I can speak Japanese. J: Can you swim? Can you wake up early in the morning? I can drive a car. 4
