Defining and non defining relative clauses
Belu:
please print this for the class
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Defining Clauses
In defining relative clauses, the information given is essential to the understanding of the sentence.
Examples:
They helped a man who was injured.I like houses which were built in the 19th century.
In these first example, the defining clause beginning with 'who' tells us which man we are talking about. In the second example, the defining clause beginning with 'which' defines what kind of houses I like. Defining relative clauses make clear which person or thing we are speaking about.
Non-Defining Clauses
In non-defining relative clauses, the information is not essential to understanding the sentence, but gives additional information.
Examples:
Mr. Brown, who enjoys going to the theater, has been invited to join our club.Whiting House, which was built in 1856, is an important local monument.
In the first example, Mr Brown is defined (the man who has been invited to join our club). The fact that he enjoys going to the theater gives us additional, but not necessary information. In the second example, the particular house is named and therefore defined, the year in which the house was built is additional information.
Punctuation is very important in non-defining clauses. A comma is placed before the relative pronoun and at the end of the clause.
Exercise 1
Decide whether the following clauses are defining or non-defining clauses. Insert commas where necessary.
The car which was a rare sports coupe was built in 1966.
We invited the boy who Tom had met the week before to the party.
Our friends who we met at university are coming to visit next week.
That is the building where they shot the film 'Vanilla Sky'.
Mr Jackson whose son also goes to this school will be attending the party next weekend.
The author's latest book which has become a bestseller is about two children in Jamaica.
Exercise 2
Work together to expand the following story by using as many non-defining relative clauses as you can. Feel free to make a funny story!
A man called Peter took an airplane to New York to visit his sister. When he arrived at the airport, a old man asked him a question. Peter gave a short reply and the man invited him for a drink. Peter accepted, and after he had the drink, caught the airplane to New York. When he got to his sister's apartment, his sister invited him into the living room. As he entered the room, he was surprised to see the same man.
