Defining relative clauses: give essential information to define or identify the person or thing we are talking about
Non-defining relative clauses: give further information about person or thing we are talking about, always separated from the rest of the sentence by commas.
Notes about non-defining relative clause
The pronouns that can be used in non-defining relative clauses are: Who for a person, Which for a thing and Whose to show belonging
You cannot use “that” instead of who, whom or which.
Ex: Harry Porter, that is the best seller is very interesting
You cannot leave out the relative pronoun
Ex: Rosy, teaching me English is quite short.
