Relative Clause
In the sentence below:
Exercises, which were corrected by the teacher on the blackboard, made a lot of mistakes.
and it can be rewritten:
Exercises,corrected by the teacher on the blackboard,made a lot of mistate.
However,I read in a book, I see they write:
Exercises,to be corrected by the teacher on the blackboard,made a lot of mistake.
Could you tell me differences between 1(2) sentence(s) above and the last sentence.
Thanks!

Re: Relative Clause
Commentary.
Exercises, which were corrected by the teacher on the blackboard, made a lot of mistakes.
That should read: "The exercises, which were corrected by the teacher on the blackboard, contained a lot of mistakes." (Excercises can't make mistakes.)
Exercises,corrected by the teacher on the blackboard,made a lot of mistate.
Mistake (not mistate) needs to be plural to conform with "a lot of".
Exercises,to be corrected by the teacher on the blackboard,made a lot of mistake.
You need to rewrite that. It should be: "The excercises, which were to be corrected by the teacher at the blackbooard, contained a lot of mistakes."

Or:
"The excercises, to be corrected by the teacher at the blackbooard, contained a lot of mistakes."
