Relative Clauses

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.i.e. This is the music which was used at the show. i.e. Have they found the prisoner who escaped last week?

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.i.e. This music, which I really like, was used at the show. i.e. My sister, who I truly admire, is coming for Thanksgiving.
