the position of relative clauses
Why is this sentence "there were a lot of people at the party who/that hadn't been invited" right grammatically? (It is cited from 'Advanced Grammar in Use, Martin hewings, third edition, p191)
Does it must be fixed "there were a lot of people who/that hadn't been invited at the party" ?
If we write a sentence that contains a relative clause like as first,
In some cases I think that we can be coufused for undersanting its meanings.
