Relative clauses: how it works
Relative clauses add information about a noun with who (people), which (things), that (people or things), whose (possession) or where (places). Defining clauses say which one you mean: The woman who called is my aunt. Non-defining clauses add extra facts between commas: My aunt, who lives in Rome, called.
