Hello all,
Are these two pairs sentences equivalent?
A: I am the first child in my family to attend college.
B: I am the first child in my family who attend college.
A: The guest on our show is the youngest golfer who wins the Open.
B:The guest on our show is the youngest golfer to win the Open.
Can the definition below be the only reason why we use "adjective clause + to-infinitive" ?
"If the subject is the same in both clauses, you usually use a ‘to’-infinitive clause. If the subject is different, you must use a ‘that’-clause."
