1- The funeral is at 3.00, followed by a reception at Shawn's bar.

I saw this sentence in a tv-series. Can I say that this sentence is a reduced form of the sentences below?

2- The funeral is at 3.00, which is followed by a reception at Shawn's bar.

3- The funeral is at 3.00, which will be followed by a reception at Shawn's bar.

    Assuming that X bar itself makes sense (a complete phrase would be more helpful), then there's nothing wrong with the sentence. And any number of expansions would be possible, including a simple conjunction like and [something] followed. Jun 25, 2019 at 22:58
  • No, it's not a reduced form of the version with which - it's just more information tacked on to the end. If it's a reduced form of anything, it would be and will be followed. The versions with which are incorrect for me. If you really wanted to use which it would be the funeral, which will be followed by drinks at Shawn's bar, is at 3, or there will be a reading at 3, which will be followed by. Your structure would be used in a sentence like the funeral will be at 8pm, which is to accommodate those flying in from abroad.
