Defining and Non-defining Relative Clauses

There are two types of relative clauses, defining and non-defining relative clauses. 00:00:01
Defining relative clauses give us essential information. 00:00:09
We cannot remove the relative clause and still understand the sentence. 00:00:15
For example, imagine there are two boxes of different colour. 00:00:21
The black box is empty and the red box is full. 00:00:27
So, we can say the box which is red is full. 00:00:33
But if we just say the box is full, then the sentence makes no sense 00:00:38
because there are two boxes and it's not clear which one we are talking about. 00:00:44
So, the color of the box is not extra information. 00:00:50
it's essential information. With defining relative clauses we cannot use commas. The first example 00:00:55
the box which is red is full so with the sentence the relative clause between commas is wrong. 00:01:05
The box which is red is full. This one is correct. 00:01:13
We also can replace WHO, WHICH, WHEN or WHY with THAT. 00:01:20
The prize which she won was very valuable or the prize that she won was very valuable are both correct. 00:01:29
We can omit the relative pronoun or adverb when its function is that of object. 00:01:38
The prize which she won or the prize she won was very valuable is correct. 00:01:48
Non-defining relative clauses give us extra information. 00:01:58
We can remove the relative clause and still understand the sentence. 00:02:04
Imagine there is a red box only. 00:02:11
It is full. 00:02:15
We can say the box, which is red, is full. 00:02:15
If we just say the box is full, the sentence still makes sense 00:02:21
because it is clear which box we are talking about. 00:02:27
There is only one box. 00:02:32
the fact that it is red is extra information with non-defining relative 00:02:33
clauses we must use commas for example my neighbor one who is single throws a 00:02:42
lot of parties we cannot replace the relative pronouns or adverbs with that 00:02:52
the box that is red is full is not correct. We have to say and write the box 00:03:00
comma which is red comma is full. We cannot omit the relative pronoun or 00:03:08
adverb. We cannot say the box is red is full but the box comma which is red 00:03:17
comma is full. Other types of relative clauses are, for example, nominal relative 00:03:24
clauses. In nominal relative clause, the noun and the relative pronoun are 00:03:35
combined in one word which functions as a noun. The common nominal relative 00:03:43
pronouns are what whatever whoever whichever and who look at the examples i couldn't read the 00:03:52
message which or that he sent me i can form a nominal relative clause by saying i couldn't read 00:04:02
what he sent me so i've combined the message which or the message message that in what 00:04:12
you can eat anything that you want you can eat whatever you want 00:04:25
another type of relative clause is the reduced relative clause in reduced relative clauses 00:04:32
we omit the relative pronoun and the verb form of be for example I can reduce 00:04:40
the sentence the woman who is knocking at the door is my sister-in-law to the 00:04:51
woman knocking at the door is my sister-in-law so I omitted the relative 00:04:59
pronoun who and the verb form of be is in this case another example the hotel 00:05:05
which was situated on the outskirts of the town used to belong to my family can 00:05:14
be reduced to the hotel situated on the outskirts of the town used to belong to 00:05:21
my family that's all 00:05:28
