There are players whose superstitions almost stop them from playing.

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

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

Defining relative clauses

Defining relative clauses give essential information to define or identify the person or thing we are talking about.

Some important things to know about these clauses:

- Commas are not used in defining relative clauses.

- Who, whom and which can be replaced by that. This is very common in spoken English (example sentences e and f).

- The relative pronoun can be omitted when it is the object of the clause. This is especially common in spoken English (example sentence e).

Let's practise
