    There are two types of relative clauses: defining and nondefining. Defining clauses provide essential information that cannot be omitted, while nondefining clauses provide nonessential information and can be omitted. The document provides examples of defining clauses that cannot omit the relative pronoun, as well as nondefining clauses where the relative pronoun can be omitted to illustrate the difference between the two types of clauses.

    As u know there are 2 types of relative clauses :

    Defining and nondefining.

    Example: 1. the house that was demolished a few weeks ago really made me scared ( ask audience if
    they can omit any part )

    ( -> omit the underlined part )

    2. this book, which I found in the shelf, was from haruki murakami

     Rule1 : cant omit in non defining clauses

    - Rule 2 goes like this when a relative clause act as a subject of the clause you can’t omit ( which
    is non defining ) -> we need to analyse …

    * To be more detailed -> 2 more example

     There’s an amazing new film(which) you really ought to see

    You: subject; which: object -> non defining

     I ran into a boy who look exactly like shawn mendes

    who : subject -> defining -> can not omit
