DEFINING AND NON-DEFINING RELATIVE CLAUSES
Time: 45 minutes

1 Educational aim: Students can distinguish non-defining and defining relative
clauses
2 Knowledge: Relative clauses
3 SKILLS:
II METHODS: Integrated, communicative approach

*Definition:
a A non-defining relative clause (also
called non-identifying relative clauses
or non-restrictive relative clauses) provide
interesting ADDITIONAL information
which is not essential to understanding the
meaning of the sentence It tells us more
about someone or something, but do not
define it
-Punctuation Correct punctuation is
essential in non-defining relative clauses If
the non-defining relative clause occurs in
the middle of a sentence, a comma is put
before the relative pronoun and at the end of
the clause If the non-defining relative
clause occurs at the end of a sentence, a
comma is put before the relative pronoun
For example:
- Listen to the teacher and write down in the notebooks
Trang 2My friend John, who went to the same
school as me, has just written a best-selling
novel
b A defining relative clause (also
called identifying relative
clauses orrestrictive relative clauses) gives
essential information about the noun or
noun phrase it modifies, the purpose of a
defining relative clause is to clearly define
who or what we are talking about Without
this information, it would be difficult to
know who or what is meant
For example:
The hotel that we stayed in wasn't bad.
("that we stayed in" tells the listener which
hotel we are talking about; it defines the
hotel)
-Punctuation Commas are not used in
defining relative clauses

Tokyo is the capital city of Japan It is the largest

populous metropolitan area It is the center of

living and old-fashioned manners, slick high-tech
gadgets and cutesy cartoon mascots It's terribly
crowded, yet can be strangely quiet It's not a pretty
city, not by conventional standards Beauty comes in
tiny packages here: You'll find it in bud vases, at
dinner tables and on dessert plates You'll find it also
in the way superfast trains ease into stations, gently,
precisely and on time There is beauty in the shrines
and stone lanterns and other traces of old Japan
scattered among the skyscrapers, swanky shopping
malls and sprawling mass transit hubs The trick is to
sample it all — to do the serene garden and the
massive office tower with a view Here's how to see

one day
