restrictive relative clause

Restrictive relative clauses give us essential information – information that tells us who or what we are talking about.

(which one?)  IMPORTANT TO UNDERSTAND THE SENTENCE
 

The woman who lives next door works in a bank.

These are the flights that have been cancelled.

THAT, WHO, WHICH, WHOM, WHOSE

you can leave out the pronouns

Sometimes we can leave out the relative pronoun. For example, we can usually leave out who, which or that if it is followed by a subject. (onderwerp)

 

The assistant [that] we met was really kind. 

   (we = subject, can omit that)  ( subject= onderwerp)

We can't usually leave it out if it is followed by a verb.

The assistant that helped us was really kind.

   (helped = verb, can't omit that)

NON-RESTRICTIVE CLAUSE

Used to give extra information about the person or thing. It is not necessary information. We don’t need it to understand who or what is being referred. We always use a relative pronoun.    WHICH, WHO, WHOSE, WHOM  

Clare, who I work with, is doing the London marathon this year.

Not: Clare, I work with, is doing the London marathon this year.

Alice, who has worked in Brussels, will be starting working in Amsterdam soon.

WHO, WHICH, WHOSE, WHOM,               we use COMMA ,
