Slide 9 - Tekstslide

Non-defining / restrictive relative clauses: 

  • They give extra information, which isn’t absolutely necessary. 
  • We use COMMAS to separate them from the rest of the sentence. 

Slide 10 - Tekstslide

Defining / restrictive relative clauses:  

  • You need them in the sentence for it to make sense. 
  • They give you essential information. 
  • There are no COMMAS, as the information cannot be left out.


Slide 11 - Tekstslide
