    An adjective clause provides additional information about a noun and is usually introduced using a relative pronoun like "which" or "who". Defining clauses give essential information about the noun and are not separated by commas, while non-defining clauses provide extra context and are separated by commas. The type of clause, defining or non-defining, impacts whether the relative pronoun "that" is used and whether commas are included.

    Adjectives.

    AN ADJECTIVE CLAUSE IS USED TO DESCRIBE A NOUN: THE CAR, WHICH WAS RED, BELONGED TO YOUNG-HEE.

    A relative pronoun is usually used

    to introduce an adjective clause: Young-Hee, who is a Korean student, lives in Victoria.

    We don't need this information in order to

    understand the sentence. The desk in the corner is mine is a good sentence on its own we still know which desk is referred to. Note that non-defining clauses are usually separated by commas, and that is not usually used in this kind of context.

    Defining clauses Defining clauses give essential information about the

    noun:
    The package that arrived this morning is on the desk.

    We need this information in order to understand the

    sentence. Without the relative clause, we don't know which package is being referred to. Note that that is often used in defining relative clauses, and they are not separated by commas.
