[@thelolgamer2132]

Hello ANDREW, yesterday I watched your lesson about non defining relative clause and today i watched this lesson actually i can't get clearly the different between defining relative clause as identify a noun, and non defining relative clause as give more information about noun, and all of lessons are clear for me. i hope you reply me and thanks for BEST TEACHER.

[@CrownAcademyEnglish]

Hi The big difference: Non-defining relative clauses give us OPTIONAL extra information about something. They act almost like brackets ( ). If we remove the non-defining clause from the sentence, the sentence still makes sense: Situation: I have a computer. (only one) Example: My computer, which I bought last year, is broken. The main meaning and sentence is simply: "My computer is broken." That is the message I want to express. "which I bought last year" is just secondary information. It is optional. If we delete it, the sentence still makes sense and the meaning does not change. The clause is NOT to identify the computer (I only have one!) but is there to simply give more optional information. Defining relative clauses are not optional. If we delete them, the sentence changes. The sentence doesn't really make sense. We use them to clearly define who or what we are talking about. They transform an ambiguous statement into a clear statement. Situation: Imagine I have 10 computers. I bought 9 of them last year. I bought 1 of them yesterday. Example: Andrew: "The computer *that I bought yesterday* is broken." "that I bought yesterday" isn't there to give you a more information about the computer. It is there to tell you which of my 10 computers is broken. If we delete the clause: "The computer is broken." -> You have no idea which computer is broken. I haven't identified it. I haven't defined it. The difference is subtle but important. Best wishes Andrew

[@thelolgamer2132]

Ok thank you ANREW

[@thelolgamer2132]

Oh thank you very much ANDREW really I get the difference between non defining relative clause and defining relative. You are my best teacher. and I have one else question : WHERE is for place, is it relative pronoun for defining relative clause and non defining relative clause ? For example: the city where I born is far from the office. ( defining relative clause). Atlas, where it is in Morocco, is beautiful place to visit.( non defining relative clause). Other question: we can use WHERE as subject and object pronoun ?

[@seltenek]

My son recommended me to watch it. I found it as he said. Keep doing it..

[@siouxsie0679]

I wouldn't say "whom" is reserved only for very formal situations -it's more commonly used than "who" in sentences like "the customer for whom I provided the reference" (i.e. after preposition)

[@user-nj6mz5zx5i]

Hello, Andrew! Could you help me, please, to understand the meaning of complex sentence which has relative clause. The sentence is "While he regularly gave his housekeeper stocks in his company, which ended up being worth millions of dollars, some of his animators made only $12 a week". The relative clouse is "which ended up being worth millions of dollars. Does it belong to "his company" which is followed by the clouse at once or it belongs to " stocks" which is a main objeсt of the sentense (He(subject)+gave(action)+stocks(object)) Thaks a lot.

[@matwazar]

Andrew, thanks so much. I love your classes.

[@mohammadtariq7575]

Recognizing a clause with questions they answer has become a difficult thing for me to understand. 1. Now let's take a Noun clause used as subject of the verb for example. "Whoever leaves last should turn off the lights. Now if we separate the independent clause we get "should turn of lights" Now I can't understand that how to think of this independent clause so that a question with "what" comes in mind. (They say that in order to be a Noun Clause, a question with the word "what" has to arise from independent clause) Only question comes in my mind is "Who should turn off the lights" and in that case it should be an adjective clause. Your thoughts ???

[@alexwillens6772]

The only thing that I still can't understand is when to use the definite and the indefinite article in these clauses. My grammar books tell me that 'the' should be used in identifying clauses and 'a' can be used only in classifying clauses. I don't understand the difference. For ex. It's not strange to write letter to a/the person you know well.According to my textbooks there should always be 'the' but in this video you had an example ' it's a book that will interest you'. Could you please clarify the usage of articles in defining relative clauses?

Are these correct: Andrew is the teacher whom I learn from. Crown Academy of English lessons' are (that or which) lessons I have learned from. That school which I have studied at.

[@CrownAcademyEnglish]

+nas nas Andrew is the teacher whom I learn from. -> Yes, this is grammatically correct. But you are mixing formal with informal styles. "whom" is very formal but putting the preposition at the end is quite informal. It would be better to write: 1)Andrew is the teacher from whom I learn. (formal) or 2) Andrew is the teacher who I learn from. (informal) or 3) Andrew is the teacher that I learn from. (informal) Crown Academy of English lessons' are (that or which) lessons I have learned from. -> This is too complicated and not really why we use defining relative clauses. We would simply say "I learned from Crown Academy of English's lessons. That school which I have studied at. -> Yes almost but it isn't a complete sentence. With a complete sentence, we could say: The school which I have studied at is in London. Best wishes Andrew
