🔵 INTRODUCTION
🔹We use non-defining relative clauses to give extra information about the person or thing. It is not necessary information. We don’t need it to understand who or what is being referred to.
▪️ We always use commas to separate a non-defining relative clause to the main clause and the rest of the sentence (if there is).
▪️ My mother, who is very kind to me, wants to see me next month.
NOTE
We do not use (that) to introduce a non-defining relative clause:
❌ My mother, that is very kind to me, wants to see me next month.
