Is it possible to write like this " Who come from a province, I am a student here".



No no, you can't, pal. Don't be mixed up. An adjective clause is different from a participle phrase. Your sentence is incorrect, I'm sure.

Hi Vutha,

Yeah I agree with you!
Let's see my example:

"It was raining when I came home last night." can be written as "When I came home last night, it was raining." because it's an adverb clause.

But for "I am a student here who come from a province." is different. It's an adjective clause so we can't move "who come from a province" to the beginning at all. It must follow the noun it modifies!

Just my idea.

Hey guy what about the below sentence?

The number of tourist in 2006 increases 20%, compared to the year 2005.

Can it be written like this " Compared to the year 2005, the number of tourist in 2006 increases 20%".

Really Steven!

What kind of this sentence!
The sentence would drqmatically correct when it is" I am a studendthere and come from the province." But it sounds no nature. "The" should be added.
It should be:
I am a student here and I come from the province.

Anyways," I who am a student here come from province." From this I think one imfomation is not important. It should be added comma 
 I ,who come from the province, am a student here. It similar to I am a student here who come from the province.

No, i don't think you, Tola, can put "the" because the listeners don't know which province is meant.
This should be "...from a province.

It is amazing to see different ideas and arguments over this question board.

My view point that i've learnt and come accross such sentence would read as follows:

in the written English it would work that "come from a province, I am a student.

See my example: Walk on the mountain, Mr. Sok lives in next door to me.

To me I think it would be an emphasised sentence to stress "VERB" first rather than having subject and following by verb.


for spoken English we can say " I am a student coming a province." (to simplify the language.)

eg. Mr. Sok who lives next door to me walks on the mountain.

Cheersss!!!!
