Relative Clause

Relative Clause :
We use relative clauses to give additional Information about something without starting another sentence. By combining sentences with a relative clause, your text becomes more fluent and you can avoid repeating certain words.
Relative clauses are often used In both spoken and written English. There Is a tendency to use non-defining relative clauses mostly In written, rather than In spoken, English.
