Non-defining relative clauses add extra information to what is mentioned before. We use
commas to separate these clauses from the main clause.
Defining relative clauses provide necessary information. That can only be used in defining
relative clauses.
In contact clauses (defining relative clauses) we can omit the relative pronoun if it is the object of
a relative clause.
