                 >> The woman who I met last night is Sally's neighbour.

- Who/which can be replaced by that.

                 >> The woman that I met last night is Sally's neighbour.

- omission: when there is another subject in the sentence.

                 >> The woman I met last night is Sally's neighbour.

The basics

Non-defining relative clause (information is not needed)

- use commas!

          >> Sally's neighbour, who I met last night, is a doctor.

-  Who/which cannot be replaced by that.

           >> Sally's neighbour, who I met last night, is a doctor.

- No omission
