Defining relative clauses
Defining relative clauses geven essentiële informatie over personen of dingen waar we over praten

belangrijk:
- Je gebruikt geen komma's in defining relative clauses
- Who, whom en which kun je vervangen door it. (gesproken Engels)
- The relative pronoun mag weg wanneer het een onderwerp van een clausule is (gesproken Engels)

Slide 5 - Slide

Non-defining relative clauses
In een non-defining clause is er geen essentiële informatie. Het vertelt ons meer over iets of iemand wat eigenlijk niet nodig is. 
Belangrijk:
- Er zit altijd een komma tussen de hoofdzin en een non defining relative clause.
- In een non-defining clause, kun je geen that gebruiken, maar wel      
  who, which, where, whose.
