Relative Clauses
Relative clauses give more information about something we have just men- tioned in a sentence. There are two types of relative clauses.
Type A (Defining Relative Clauses)
Type A identifies which person or thing we mean exactly. We cannot leave in- formation in such clauses out of a sentence:
e.g. It’s the plane that has arrived from Paris.
Do not say: It’s the plane. (This sentence is incomplete).
The table below shows how we form defining relative clauses:

Subject

Object
