He's the player who has the world record for scoring most goals.

He needed the lucky shirt which he had given away.

There are players whose superstitions almost stop them from playing.

1998 was the year when France hosted the World Cup.

That wasn't the only superstition (that) the team had.

Edson Arantes do Nascimento is the player that is better known as Pelé.

He had never found the place where the fan lived.

Defining relative clauses

Defining relative clauses geven essentiële informatie over personen of dingen waar we over praten

Belangrijk:

- Je gebruikt geen komma's in defining relative clauses

- The relative pronoun mag weg wanneer het een onderwerp van een clausule is (gesproken Engels)

Non-defining relative clauses

In een non-defining clause is er geen essentiële informatie. Het verteld ons meer over iets of iemand wat eigenlijk niet nodig is. 

Belangrijk:

- Er zit altijd een komma tussen de hoofdzin en een non defining relative clause.

- In een non-defining clause, kun je geen that gebruiken, maar wel who, whom, which.

Non-defining relative clause

James Naismith, who was born in Canada, was working at a YMCA school.

It needed to be a sport which would keep students fit.

The man who invented it was James Naismith.

Naismith went to Berlin, where the games took place that year.

In 1936, when Naismith was 75 years old, basketball officially became part of the Olympic Games.

Naismith was working in Massachusetts, which is really cold in the winter.

Which clauses have commas?

1. defining relative clauses
