    The first sentence "The friend that I want to introduce you to is away this weekend" correct one. because in defining clauses we do not use possessive pronoun such as his, her.

      The video is good! Thank you! But, I think, your teacher is no worse than the presenter. 1.Sometimes the problem is the students. There are some, who can not understand this topic in his/her lifetime!
      2.This topic cannot be clarified definitively, there will always be a lot of unclear things. In particular, due to the vagueness of the key phrase in the presenter's explanation "central=essential=information". It depends on speaker's and listener's individual interpretation.

    • @oxfordenglishnow

    I think the correct answer of the last question is sentence number one, because there is a preposition, also the rule emphasize that the possessives pronouns are omitted after prepositions .second, notice " introduce you" we have "you" you is sufficient to give the meaning , we dont need anything else .

    The reason:-'Her' is inappropriately used here.
    At the beginning,these relative pronouns were a bit complicated for me to understand.
    However,at the moment I am feeling a bit more satisfied about these relative pronouns.Thanks a lot for this great task ma'am.

    The first sentence in the end is true because it's a defining relative clause and it doesn't need comma. Use of her in the Second one is wrong . Great teaching method, thanks alot teacher 🙏🏻💚👍🏻
