relative clauses

Slide 1 - Slide

Slide 2 - Slide

defining (restrictive) clauses
My house that has a blue door needs painting.
the blue door is describing a characteristic, it helps to distinguish my house from other houses.

Slide 3 - Slide


defining clauses or phrases are not seperated off with commas. A restrictive clause or phrase is essential to the meaning of sentence. Eliminating a restrictive element from a sentence changes its meaning entirely

Slide 4 - Slide

non-defining (non-restrictive) clauses
 My house, which has a blue door, needs painting.
The real point is that the house needs painting, the blue door is incidental and could be deleted.



Slide 5 - Slide


commas are used to set of non-defining elements, which contribute to, but not determine the meaning of the sentence. If you would take away the non-defining clause, the meaning of the sentence would stay the same.
