           Relative clauses

Defining and non- definig

What is a relative clause?

A relative clause gives more information about a noun.

It usually begins with: who, which, that, whose, where, when.

Example: The girl who is wearing a red dress is my sister.

DEFINING RELATIVE CLAUSE

 Give essential information about the noun, without it, the sentence doesn’t make sense.

   Example: The man who lives next door is a doctor

No commas are used.

                    NON DEFINIG RELATIVE CLAUSE

Give extra, non-essential information. The sentence still makes sense without it.

Example: My brother, who lives in Spain, is a teacher. 

Use commas to separate the clause.

                 Relatives pronouns

                  who → people

                  which → things/animals

                  that → people/things (defining only)

                  whose → possession

                  where → places

                  when → time

                   Defining vs non-defining  

                 Defining: Essential info, no commas, can use 'that',

                 Pronoun sometimes omitted.

              Non-Defining: Extra info, use commas, cannot use 'that’, pronoun not omitted.

                 Summary

                  Defining clauses: essential info, no commas.

                 Non-defining clauses: extra info, use commas.

                 Common pronouns: who, which, that, whose, where, when.

                 They make sentences richer and more connected!
