RELATIVE
CLAUSES

become more fluent, and helps avoid repeating words.
Give additional information about something, but
it’s not essential. These clauses are put in commas
For example: “My
brother , who lives in France, came to see me.
With the same example you can say that this is not
essential information, but something additional
It gives
detailed information defining a general term. These
clauses are not put in commas.
For example: “My brother who lives in
France came to see me”. It’s essential information
because we can “infer” that you have more than
one brother.
Like: She, He
(When
you replace Him, Her)
