Defining relative clauses
- Give necessary information about a person or object
- Use who, whom, which, that (can replace who/which with that)
- Can omit pronoun if it defines the object
e.g. Ahmed is the student who/that got full marks. · Dogs are animals which/that are loyal. · We must protect the glory (that) we inherited.
Non-defining relative clauses
- Give extra information — not essential
- Cannot use that · must keep pronoun · use commas
e.g. Sama's grandfather, who lives in Assuit, has one daughter. · The new building, which is solar-powered, opened last October. · Yara, whose father was a teacher, is a clever doctor.
