Grammar: Restrictive and Non-Restrictive Clauses ‎

Restrictive clauses and non-restrictive clauses are two types of clauses that can be used in a sentence.

A restrictive clause

It is a clause that is essential to the meaning of a sentence because it specifies which particular thing or person is being referred to. It is called restrictive because it restricts or defines the noun or pronoun that it modifies. Commas do not set off restrictive clauses.

For example: 

“The book that I borrowed from the library is fascinating.” In this sentence, the clause “that I borrowed from the library” is restrictive because it specifies which book is being referred to. With this clause, the sentence would be clear which book is being discussed.

A non-restrictive clause

On the other hand, it is a clause that provides additional information about the noun or pronoun but is not essential to the sentence’s meaning. Commas set off non-restrictive clauses.

For example:

“My friend, who lives in New York, is coming to visit.” In this sentence, the clause “who lives in New York” is non-restrictive because it provides additional information about the friend but is not essential to the sentence’s meaning.

Who = used for persons

Which = preferences ‎

Whose = possession ‎

That = persons, animals, and things‎

Examples of Restrictive and Non-Restrictive Clauses 

  • She has a son who is a doctor.‎
  • She lives in a city which she likes a lot.
  • ‎That boy, whose jeans are blue, is my friend.‎
  • My friend, who is a doctor, is coming over later.
  • The man, whom I met at the conference, is coming to visit.
  • I wouldn’t say I like the table that stands in the kitchen.
