1.1 Relative clause

17
REVIEW MID&FINAL FOUNDATION

Defining relative clauses

Defining relative clauses carry essential information, because they identify


which thing or person we are talking about, and they are used without commas.

· This is the music which was used at the show.

· Have they found the prisoner who escaped last week?

In defining relative clauses we can use that instead of which or who.

· This is the music that was used at the show.

· Have they found the prisoner that escaped last week?

Who/which/that, can be omitted if they are followed by subject + verb

· Can you pass me the box (which/that) I keep in the top drawer?

· You are not the man (who/that) I thought you were.

Non-defining relative clauses

Non-defining relative clauses are used between commas, and they add extra
information which is not necessary to know who or what we are talking about.

· This music, which I really like, was used at the show.

· My sister, who I truly admire, is coming for Thanksgiving.

In non-defining relative clauses (between commas) we cannot use, and we


cannot omit who/which.

Defining vs non-defining relative clauses

In a defining relative clause the information is essential to identify who or


what we are talking about, whereas in non-defining relative clauses we just
add extra the information, which is not necessary. Compare:

· My brother who lives in Cardiff is much older than me. (=I have more than
one brother and the relative clause helps identify which brother I am
talking about).

· My brother, who lives in Cardiff, is much older than me. (=I have only one
brother so we don t need the relative clause to know who I am talking about .
