📘 GRAMMAR: DEFINING VS. NON-DEFINING RELATIVE CLAUSES
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

📋 Rule
Defining clauses give essential information without commas. Non-defining clauses give extra information and always need commas.

🧱 Structure
Noun + who/which/that + clause (defining) OR Noun, + who/which, + clause (non-defining)

🤔 Examples

✔️ The man who lives next door is a doctor.
✔️ London, which is in the UK, is a historic city.
✔️ She is the person that helped me yesterday.

💡 Tip: Commas act like parentheses for extra information. If you can remove the clause and the main idea still makes sense, use commas and never use 'that'.

🤔 Examples

💡 Very informal. Use it with friends when talking about gossip or personal drama, never in professional or formal situations.
