I am an Enlish teacher in China. Recently I ran across Daudet's the Last Lesson(adapted) in our text book in which there is a sentence that puzzled me a lot.
Not till then, when I had got a little over my fright, did I see that our teacher had on his beautiful green coat, that he never wore except on inspection and prize days. Personally and grammatically, I think the
that I marked in red should be
which . This sentece is a nonrestrictive attributive clause because there is a comma following
coat. Or there is a special grammar that I don't know, say, that is used as an antecedent in attributive clause and the relative pronoun
that is ommited. Could anybody help me please?
