Subject relative clauses are sentences like *The man who was standing near the doorway laughed*. Here, the phrase (called a relative clause) *who was standing near the doorway* modifies the noun phrase *man*; it is called a subject relative because the noun phrase *man* is the subject of the relative clause. By contrast, object relative clauses are sentences like *The man who was the woman was talking to near the doorway laughed*; here, the *man* is the grammatical object of the relative clause *who was the woman was talking to near the doorway*.

🆖 The man who (*was) the woman was talking to near the doorway laughed
🆗 The man who the woman was talking to near the doorway laughed
