    This document summarizes the use of relative clauses in Spanish grammar. It discusses defining relative clauses, which provide essential information about a person or thing, and non-defining relative clauses, which provide additional, non-essential information. It provides examples of relative pronouns like who, that, which, whose, when, and where and how they are used in defining and non-defining relative clauses. Exercises are included to practice forming relative clauses with the correct pronouns and identifying whether examples are defining or non-defining clauses.
