Hi,
I asked a question on this some days ago but didn't get any answer. At that time, I thought I was asking some questions that woudn't be hard for some experts in this forum (these forums?) but didn't get any answers. I don't know why. Could anyone help? Are these optional to you. I think no.2 and no.3 pairs are not; they look awkward with the parts ellipted.
 
 



1.Please close the window (that was) installed yesterday. 
2.Please close the window (that is) broken. 
3. Please close the window (that is) behind you. 

1.Can you close the window (that was?) installed yesterday?
2.Can you  closed the window (that is?)  broken?
3.Can you closed the window (that is?) behind you?
