Defining vs. Non-defining clause

• Clause =                    zin 
• Defining clause = Zin die cruciaal is voor de betekenis van de

                                           zin.

• Non-defining =     Zin die niet cruciaal is. De extra informatie                                        kan worden weggehaald en het is nog                                                  steeds   duidelijk waar het over gaat. Staat                                          tussen  komma's
