3. Defining and non-defining relative clauses

3.1. Defining and Non-defining: - A defining relative clause tells which noun we are talking about: Ex: I like the woman who lives next door. -A non-defining relative clause gives us extra information about something. We don't need this information to understand the sentence. Ex: I live in London, which has some fantastic parks.

3.2. Defining relative clauses: -We can use 'who', 'which' or 'that'. We use 'who' for people and 'which' for things. We can use 'that' for people or things. The relative clause can come after the subject or the object of the sentence. - Examples: *The people who / that live on the island are very friendly. *The man who / that phoned is my brother. *The camera which / that costs £100 is over there. *The house which / that belongs to Julie is in London.
