English writing?

Question

I am a self taught English student. I would appreicate it if someoen help me out by answering the questions below.

=====

I wonder why it is possible to omit the subject pronoun and change the verb to its-ing form as like this:

Ex: Englsih has an alphabet that consists of 26 letters

(= English has an alphabet consiting of 26 letters)

Ex: Anyone who wants to come with us is welcome

(= Anyone who wanting to come with us is welcome)

I wonder if I can change this sentence below in the same way and I wonder why... or why not if I can not..

1. Then she waits for the bus that takes her back to her uptown apartment

--> Then she waits for the bus taking her back to her uptown apartment

2. Jan is a working girl who bounces through a routine from nine to five

---> Jan is a working bouncing throught a routine from nine to five.

Answer 1

*Agrees with dragonfly*

Most of your examples with -ing demonstrate informal grammar, which would probably be appropriate in an conversation or casual email, but is not in fact correct.

Answer 2

Actually all of the scentences with ing demonstrate incorrect grammar usage.  While it is appropriate in speech to make those changes, it is inappropriate to do so when writing them.
