Grammar: b) Non-defining relative clauses. - These clauses give us more information about a person or thing already identified. - When we write these clauses, we must use “comma (,)” at the beginning and at the end of the clauses. - These clauses are used in sentences containing: + proper name/noun (Ha Long Bay, John, Sirley…) + possessive adjectives (my, his, her, their, our, its) + demonstrative pronouns (this, that, these, those); etc - In non-defining relative clauses, we cannot use “that” and we cannot leave out “who” or “which”. Ex 1 : John, who (not “that”) speaks French and Italia, works as a tour guide. Ex 2 : Dick told me about his new job, which he’s enjoying very well.
