DEFINITION

By combining sentences with a relative clause, your text becomes more fluent and you can avoid repeating certain words.
.
We use relative clauses to give additional information about something without starting another sentence
A defining relative clause usually comes immediately after the noun it describes. We use defining relative clauses to give essential information about someone or something – information that we need in order to understand what or who is being referred to. This subordinate clause is integrated to the main clause.
We use non-defining relative clauses to give extra information about the person or thing. It is not necessary information. We don’t need it to understand who or what is being referred to. We always use a relative pronoun (who, which, whose or whom) to introduce a non-defining relative clause This subordinate clause is supplementary to the main clause.
