This document provides information about relative clauses, which are clauses that contain a relative pronoun like who, where, that or which. It explains that relative clauses can be either defining or nondefining. Defining relative clauses add essential information to a sentence that cannot be understood without the clause. Nondefining relative clauses provide extra information to a sentence using commas, and the sentence can still be understood if the clause is removed. Examples of defining and nondefining relative clauses are given to illustrate the differences.

Sentences can have a Main clause and a
Relative clause. A Relative Clause is a clause
or sentence that has a relative pronoun.
The most useful relative pronouns are,
Who for people, Where for places, and
That/Which for things/objects.

5. The Relative Clauses can be Defining and
Nondefining.
Defining Relative Clauses add important
information to a sentence which cannnot be
understand without it.
Example:
That was the first time that we download an
official document using the new print.

6. 6
Nondefining Relative Clauses add extra information to
sentences. But if we take out this nonessential
information, we can still undestand the sentence
without it. The information is added to sentences
using commas.
Examples:
Covid-19, which is the newest illness at the time, is
killing thousand of people.
