* Defining relative clause: được sử dụng để xác định danh từ đứng trước nó, nếu không có mệnh đề này thì người đọc/người nghe không biết người viết/ nói đề cập đến người/ vật nào.
* Non- defining relative clause: được sử dụng để cung cấp thêm cho danh từ đứng trước nó, trong văn viết nó được tách khỏi các thành phần khác trong câu bằng dấu phẩy.
2. Relative clauses
The novel has been lost. You gave me the novel on my birthday.
Notes:
* We can’t use “that” in non- defining relative clause
* We can’t leave “who/which” in non- defining relative clause
Underline the relative clause in the sentence. Then add commas to separate the non – defining relative clause from the rest of the sentence.
