COMMAS & RELATIVE CLAUSES
Exercise 2: Classifying relative clauses
Purpose:
This exercise helps you to understand the difference between essential and non-essential relative clauses
and their effect on the use of the comma.
Remember, a comma is needed to separate non-essential relative clauses from the rest of the sentence
but not used with essential relative clauses.
Instructions:
Read the sentences in the next exercise and decide whether each sentence includes one of the following:
- essential relative clauses (needed to define the meaning of the word before)
- non-essential relative clauses (providing extra information which could be omitted)
- no relative clauses
Don't ignore the feedback. It explains the reasons why certain answers are incorrect,
so make sure you read the feedback before moving on to the next question!
