relative clause

[eliff]

Hello,

Could you please help me about making a sentence about relative clause.

I want to take the girl to London. (It is correct)

But,

1) I want to take the girl to London who I like.

or

2) I want to take the girl to London I like.

or

3) I want to take the girl to London that I like.

Note:I like the girl.

Are they correct?

Thanks

NOT A TEACHER.

I want to take the girl I like to London.

 

[eliff]

Thank you.But Isn't it an inverted sentence?

I want to take the girl whom I like to London.

or

I want to take to London the girl whom I like.

Thank you.But Isn't it an inverted sentence?

I want to take the girl whom I like to London. or I want to take to London the girl whom I like.

What do you mean by 'inverted sentence,?

Your first example is correct, but very formal - Allen's version is far more natural. Your second example is possible, but just not natural.

Which is first one?

Is this ?
1) I want to take the girl to London whom I like

First one doesn't sound weird to me.Because of that I asked.

Which is first one?

Is this ? I want to take the girl to London whom I like or I want to take the girl whom I like to London.

It sounds weird to me.Because of that I asked.

By 'first', I somewhat old-fashionedly meant 'the one before the second'.

I was referring to the one I have underlined - which you have now, confusingly, moved to second position.

'I want to take the girl to London whom I like' or 'I want to take the girl whom I like to London.'

It's the whom that makes them sound very formal.

Leave out whom and put 'I like' after 'girl' - not after 'London'.

Allen's answer is spot on:

'I want to take the girl I like to London.'

What do you want to do? I want to take [someone somewhere].
Who do you want to take? The girl I like.
Where do you want to take her? To London.

Put the three answers together and you have your whole sentence. Easy.

I want to take the girl I like to London.
