Understanding Relative Clauses: Defining and Non-Defining

A relative clause gives more information about someone or something.

Some relative clauses refer to a whole sentence. Some relative clauses refer to a noun. There are two kinds of relative clauses that refer to a noun: defining and non-defining.

Defining relative clauses give information that is necessary in order to understand who or what is being referred to.

Non-defining relative clauses give extra information that is not necessary in order to understand who or what is being referred to.
