 These clauses give more information about a person or thing already identified

 When we write these clause, we use

“comma (,)” at the beginning and at the end of the clauses

 In non-defining relative clauses we

cannot use “that” We cannot also leave out “which or who”.

 Non-defining relative clauses are used

in sentences containing proper name/noun; possessive adjectives (my, his, her, our, their, its) and

demonstrative pronouns (this, that, these, those)
