"What" does not refer to a noun that comes before it. It acts as noun + relative pronoun together, and means 'the thing(s) which/that . (Michael Swan)
I. What she said made me angry.
II. This is exactly what I wanted.
1. What does " noun + relative pronoun together" in the above mean?
2. "What" means "the thing(s) which/that " . Could anybody explain the meaning of "the thing(s) which/that " to me, please? I find it difficult to explain to children?
Thanks.
