  |   Relative Clauses 
 Hello everyone!In the following sentences, when the noun is at the begining of the first sentence, the relative clause should be the second sentence:
 1.The boy is cute. He lives next door.
 =The boy who lives next door is cute.
 2.The novel won the prize. It pleased a lot of writers.
 =The novel that pleased a lot of writers won the prize.
 3.Tom still rides a bike. He is 84.
 = Tom, who is 84, still rides a bike.
 *But this rule doesn't apply on the following:
 The man stole the money. He must be punished.
 = The man who stole the money must be punished.
 (The noun is in the first sentence. The relative clause is the complement of the first sentence though.)
 Not: The man who must be punished stole the money.
 I mean, aside from the meaning, is there any grammatical rule we can depend on?
 Thanks in advance
