RELATIVE CLAUSES


Hello everyone! 
This is the new topic you are working on these days, here you have a useful table that will help you to understand the difference and between defining and non-defining relative clauses





















Also, you can take a look to the second table below to revise the use of the relative pronouns:

whosepossession for people animals and thingsDo you know the boy whose mother is a nurse?

thatsubject or object pronoun for people, animals and things in defining relative clauses (who or which are also possible)I don’t like the table that stands in the kitchen.
