hing _that_ is spoken to."--_Kirkham cor._ "The third person denotes the person or thing _that_ is spoken of."--_Id._ "A passive verb denotes action received, or endured by the person or thing _that is signified by_ its nominative."--_Id._ "The princes and states _that_ had neglected or favoured the growth of this power."--_Bolingbroke cor._ "The nominative expresses the name of the person or thing _that_ acts, or _that_ is the subject of discourse."--_Hiley cor._ (5.) "Authors _that_ deal in long sentences, are very apt to be faulty."--_Blair cor._ "Writers _that_ deal," &c.--_Murray cor._ "The neuter gender denotes objects _that_ are neither male nor female."--_Merchant cor._ "The neuter gender denotes things _that_ have no sex."--_Kirkham cor._ "Nouns _that_ denote objects neither male nor female, are of the neuter gender."--_Wells's Gram. of late_, p. 55. Better thus: "_Those_ nouns _which_ denote objects _that are_ neither male nor female, are of the neuter gender."--_Wells cor._ "Objects and ideas _that_ have been long familiar, make too faint an impression to give an agreeable exercise to our faculties."--_Blair cor._ "Cases _that_ custom has left dubious, are certainly within the grammarian's province."--_L.

Murray cor._ "When it is this alone _that_ renders the sentence obscure."--_Campbell cor._ "This sort of full and ample assertion, '_It is this that_,' is fit to be used when a proposition of importance is laid down."--_Blair cor._ "She is not the person _that_ I understood it to have been."--_L.

"He is not the person _that he_ seemed _to be_."--_Murray and Ingersoll cor._ "He is really the person _that_ he appeared to be."--_Iid._ "She is not now the woman _that_ they represented her to have been."--_Iid._ "An _only child_ is one _that_ has neither brother nor sister; a _child alone_ is one _that_
