Defining relative clauses
A defining relative clause is used to give 
essential 
inform ation about the person, place o r thing. 
W ithout the defining relative clause the sentence does not have enough meaning, fo r example:
Animals are called wild animals.
This sentence does not have enough inform ation because not a ll anim als are called w ild anim als.
A nim als which live in a non-dom esticated environm ent are called w ild anim als.
The relative clause here gives the sentence meaning. We now know 
which 
anim als.
Defining relative clauses are often used in definitions (for example the clause above defines w ild 
animals).
