Defining relative clause

Shakespeare is the person who wrote Hamlet.

Italy is where pizza was invented.

Tip!
  • Gives ESSENTIAL information.
  • The sentence doesn't make sense without it.

Italian, which is my favourite language, is easy.

  • We use a comma BEFORE and AFTER the relative clause.
