Omission of relative pronouns:
Notice: We can leave out the pronoun when it is not the subject of the relative clause.
Ex1: The meeting was interesting. I enjoyed it yesterday.
The meeting which I enjoyed yesterday was interesting.
 The meeting I enjoyed yesterday was interesting.

This girl I talked about yesterday is very nice.
