3. Defining and non-defining relative clauses:
a) Defining relative clauses:
Defining relative clauses identify nouns,
These clauses tell us which person or thing
the speaker means.
The novel which you gave me on my birthday
has been lost.


b) Non-defining relative clause:
Non-defining relative clauses give
more information about a person or
thing already identified. When we
write these clauses, we put commas
at the beginning of the clause (and
Viet
Nam,
which
theclause).

Southeast

endisofinthe
Asia,
Not exports rice
e:
* we cannot use “that” in a nondefining
relative clause.
* In a non-defining
relative clause we
cannot leave out who or which.


3.Underline the relative clause in the
sentence. Then add commas to separate the
non- defining relative clause from the rest of
the sentence.

Example:
a) Vietnam which is in south-east
Asia exports rice
a) Vietnam
which
is inis

d) The novel, that you gave me on, my
birthday has been
lost
e) Neil Armstrong who first walked on
,
,

the USA


4. Rewrite the sentences in Exercise 3.
Replace each underlined clause with a clause
you have written. You may use facts or facts
or your imagination.

Example:

Kangaroos, which come from
Australia, have long
tails.
Kangaroos, which can be seen
everywhere in Australia, have long
tails.
Kangaroos, which are called Chuot tui
in Vietnamese, have long tails.
