preposition+obj pronoun+?

Hi,

I know that many people use this type of sentence " I team up with a boy doing 5 subjects" (participle)  And " I team up with a boy who does 5 subjects"(relative pronoun)

Yes. You can also say 'I team up with a boy who is doing 5 subjects.

But Can one say? : "I team up with a boy do 5 subjects"    (???) No.

 I believe the "doing" is participle because it's preceded by a noun and not directly after preposition. Think of 'doing 5 subjects' as a shortened form of 'who is doing 5 subjects'.  I don't see that it has anything to do with prepositions.

Does this apply to all the sentences with preopositions in this type of context? What preposition are you talking about in your example? The only one I see is 'up', which just part of the phrasal verb 'team up' .

Best wishes, Clive

Clive : I mean the preposition "with" -> pronoun/noun (a boy) --> participle/relative pronoun. And also others preposition like, of, from, for,after and all this kind of preposition to introduce a subordinate clause .  I was wondering whether a bare infinitive could be used after the pronoun/noun (a boy), (which i thought to be unlikely, since bare infinitive can't modify pronoun)

 

Avangi: Hey, i know that "a boy" shouldn't use "do" but in this context "a boy" is not a subject and shouldn't use does, however if does is used in the context (context I'm talking about) " I team up with a boy does 5 subjects" it doesn't make sense at all,  unless "who" is included before "does", which I already thought to be true (relative pronoun/clause) and so does the "participle phrase" (doing), which i already know that it's widely used.

Hi Anc   -   I wasn't suggesting you use does instead of do in your "third type of construction."  I thought if I understood why you wanted to use "do" it might give me a clue as to what you have in mind.   If you could only give us an example using "do" which you're fairly sure is correct, we might then be able to apply it to the case in hand.   - A.
