Answer
1.
Relative Clause
are non-assential parts of sentence. They may add meaning, but if they are
removed. The sententence will still function grammatically.
We
use relative clauses to give additional information about something without
starting another sentence. By combining sentences with a relative clause, your text becomes more
fluent and you can avoid repeating certain words.
a. Defining Clauses
or Identifiying Clause tells us which specific person or thing we are talking
about in alarger group of people or things.
If
a defining relative clause is removed, the meaning of the sentence change
significantly. A defining relative clause is not separated from the rest of the
sentence by commas or parentheses.
Examples
:
1. The
woman who visited me in the hospital was very kind.
2. The
man who stole my backpack has been arrested
3. The
umbrella that I bought last week is already broken.
b. Non-Defining Clauses
A
non-defining clause gives us more information about the person or thing we are
talking about. If a non-defining relative clause is removed from a sentence, we
lose some detail, but the overall meaning of the sentence remains the same.
Non-defining relative clauses are always set off from the rest of the sentence
with commas or parentheses.
Examples:
1. The
author, who graduated from the same university I did, gave a wonderful
presentation.
2. The
farmer, whose name was Fred, sold us 10 pounds of potatoes.
3. Elephants,
which are the largest land mammals, live in herds of 10 or more adults.

only take place if a certain condition (in the clause with if) is fulfilled.
