RELATIVE SENTENCES
Defining relative clauses contain essential information about people or things.
Relative pronouns come after the noun they describe.
The relative pronouns who, which and that can be omitted when they are followed by a
noun or a pronoun
Non-defining relative clauses contain additional information about people or things.
We use commas to separate non-defining relative clauses from the rest of the sentence.
We cannot omit a relative pronoun in a non-defining clause We cannot use “that” in a non- defining sentence.
