Dutch bargain is an agreement made

[keannu]

When there's a following past participle describing a word, can you say it always has the omitted (which is) or (which are) , relative pronoun+be verb?
If so, when do you omit it and when do you include it? I think you include it in formal cases and omit it just to shorten the sentence for convenience, but I'm not sure.

ex)....Dutch bargain is an agreement made after drinking alchol....
=>Dutch bargain is an agreement (which is) made after drinking alchol

2. the main verb in the relative clause is progressive.

Thank you, but there're too many cases, can't you reduce them?

I think you can also add "past participle" to omissible cases.
"This is a car (which was) made in Korea". Right?
