Complex Sentence Analysis:
There was nothing that I could think of (that) I should have done.
Main clause ๐ 'There was nothing'
Adjective Clause ๐ 'of that I could think' (antecedent 'nothing'; relative pronoun 'that - object of the preposition 'of')
Adjective Clause ๐ '(that) I should have done' (antecedent 'nothing'; relative pronoun omitted 'that' - object of the verb 'done').
'It' as the object of the verb 'done' is redundant, as the omitted relative pronoun. 'that' serves the purpose. (Generally a relative pronoun serving as an object of a verb in an adjective clause, is omitted in spoken and informal English).
