4. WHAT’S A DEFİNİNG RELATİVE CLAUSE? We can use relative clauses to join two English sentences . 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. A  defining relative clause  usually comes immediately after the noun it describes.

5. WHAT’S A NON DEFİNİNG RELATİVE CLAUSE? Non-defining relative clause just gives us more information about who or what we are speaking about. It isn't essential for understanding who or what we are talking about. We always use a relative pronoun or adverb to start a non-defining relative clause: who , which , whose , when or where ( but not that ). We also use commas to separate the clause from the rest of the sentence.
