Be careful with the construction in the above sentence.
‘Who’ has been used twice. You can only use ‘and who’ if it
follows a subordinate clause which has been introduced by
‘who’. In this sentence ‘who followed her’ is a subordinate
clause introduced by ‘who’ so the ‘and who’ that follows
later is correct. The following sentence is incorrect:
The man had followed her and who had frightened her
dog.The ‘who’ is, of course, unnecessary. It should be:
The man had followed her and had frightened her dog.Looking at more examples
