NON-DEFINING RELATIVE CLAUSES
The information in these clauses is not essential. It tells us more about someone or something, but it does not help us to identify them or it.
Compare:
1. Elephants that love mice are very unusual. (This tells us which elephants we are talking about).
2. Elephants, which are large and grey, can sometimes be found in zoos. (This gives us some extra information about elephants - we are talking about all elephants, not just one type or group).
3. John's mother, who lives in Scotland, has 6 grandchildren. (We know who John's mother is, and he only has one. The important information is the number of grandchildren, but the fact that she lives in Scotland might be followed with the words "by the way" - it is additional information).
Punctuation
Non-defining relative clauses are always separated from the rest of the sentence by commas. The commas have a similar function to brackets:
My friend John has just written a best-selling novel. (He went to the same school as me) > My friend John, who went to the same school as me, has just written a best-selling novel.
Examples:
1. Bob has one daughter. His daughter is called Maria. She goes to Yale University.
Bob's daughter, who is called Maria, goes to Yale university.
2. You recommended a book for me. I read it.
I read the book that you recommended for me.
3. Havana is the capital of Cuba. Havana has a lively night life.
Havana, which is the capital of Cuba, has a lively night life.
4. One of my sisters lives in Paris. The other one lives in London. The one in Paris is getting married next year.
My sister who lives in Paris is getting married next year.
5. Michael Jackson made a video in 1984. It was called "Thriller". It is considered a classic by his fans.
In 1984 Michael Jackson made the video called "Thriller", which is considered a classic by his fans.
6. I have a lot of friends. One is a dentist. He lives in Hawaii.
I have a friend who lives in Hawaii who is a dentist.
7. Lord Aston was born in 1834. He was born in Hambwell House in the north of England. Hambwell House is now a school.
Lord Aston was born in 1834 in Hambwell House, which is now a museum.
8. We visited four cities on our European tour. All of us preferred the same city. It was also the most expensive.
