2.
Relative
Clause
As
the name suggest, defining relative clauses give essential information to
define or identify the person or thing we are talking about. Take for example
the sentence : dogs that like cats are very unusual. In this sentence we
understand that there are many dogs in the world, but we are only talking about
the ones that like cats. The defining relative caluse gives us that
information. If the defining relative clause were removed from the sentence,
the sentence would still be grammatically correct, but is meaning would have
changed significantly.
Defining relative clause are
composed of a relative pronoun (sometimes omitted), a verb, and optional other
elements such as the subject or object of the verb. Commas are not used to
separate defining relative clauses from the rest of the sentences. Commas or
parentheses are used to separate non-defining relative clauses from the rest of
the sentences.
Examples
·
Children who hate
chocolate are uncommon
·
They live in a house
whose roof is full of holes
·
An elephant is an
animal that lives in hot countries
·
Let’s go to a country
where the sun always shines
·
The reason why I came
here today is not important
