We use relative clauses in sentences to give information about the noun (or the noun phrase) in the preceding clause.
We connect the clauses using relative pronouns (that, which, who, when, where).
Who = for people
Which = for animals or things
That = for people, animals or things (only in defining relative clauses)
When = for time
Where = for places
1. Defining relative clauses.
These are used to give essentian informaion. Without this information, the sentence would
be meaningless, or mean something different.

 Can you tell us about some of the customs that/which you found difficult at first?
 They caught the man who / that spied for China.
 I lost the map which / that she gave me.
 Christmas Day is a day when people are happy.
 We visited the house where our father was born.
2. Non defining relative clauses.
These are used to add extra, non-essential information. Without this information, the
sentence would still make sense.
 Coming from Britain, where it’s normal practice to have dinner much earlier, I found this a bit
difficult at first.
 I went to the carnival celebration in Venetia, which is very famous in Italy.
 Mata Hari, who was a famous female spy, was born in Holland.
