clauses. You need to change/cut some words.

1 A school is a place where you study.
2 The film is about a man
3 work for a company
4 I always give back the money
5 What happened to that girl
6 The Bahamas is the place
In this sentence, the ending "you study there" matches with the clause "A school is a place". We can remove the word "where" and combine the two parts to form a relative clause: "A school is a place you study."
2. The film is about a man.
The ending "she lends me" matches with the clause "The film is about". We can remove the word "a" and combine the two parts to form a relative clause: "The film is about a man she lends me."
3. At sells insurance.
The ending "At sells insurance" matches with the clause "work for a company". However, the phrase "At" doesn't make sense in this context. We can remove it and modify the clause to fit the sentence: "She works for a company that sells insurance."
4. I always give back the money.
The ending "he borrows $1,000,000 to buy a horse" matches with the clause "I always give back". We can combine them to form a relative clause: "I always give back the money he borrows $1,000,000 to buy a horse."
5. What happened to that girl.
The ending "she was working as a chef" matches with the clause "What happened to". We can remove the words "that" and "as" and combine the parts to form a relative clause: "What happened to the girl she was working?"
6. The Bahamas is the place.
The ending "we went on our honeymoon" matches with the clause "The Bahamas is". We can remove the words "our" and "on" and combine the parts to form a relative clause: "The Bahamas is the place we went honeymoon."
