Mario Signorelli - Restrictive and Non Restrictive Clause <br />I, Mario Signorelli, want to tell you about restrictive and non restrictive clauses. <br />I, Mario Signorelli, would like to tell you that Relative clauses are divided in two categories: restrictive clauses and non-restrictive clauses. <br />Restrictive Clause: <br />A relative clause is the clause that provides essential information about the noun to which it refers. You should not put a comma before restrictive clause. <br />Example: <br />- I want to buy the pen that you showed me yesterday. <br />Non-Restrictive Clause: <br />A non-restrictive clause is the clause that provides non-essential information and you can remove that part from the sentence without affecting the sense of the sentence. You need to put a comma before non-restrictive clause <br />Ex. <br />- I want buy a grammar book, which should have detailed description about everything. <br />I, Mario Signorelli, believe that by now you must have understood restrictive and non restrictive clauses to a big extent.
