| Grammar tip: 
It is im portant to know which type of relative clause to use (defining or 
i non-defining). This te lls you w hether you need to punctuate the clause, what pronouns 
j 
you can use, and if the clause can be shortened. Remember, speakers w ill pause at 
| commas in non-defining relative clauses. This means that you can identify a defining 
I and non-defining relative clause by the way it is said.
