Defining relative clauses

Use
We use defining relative clauses to give essential information about the person or thing in
the main clause. It tells us which person or thing we are talking about.
This is the CD which everyone is talking about.
Form
There are no commas in defining relative clauses. We can replace who or which with that
in defining relative clauses.
She’s the woman that works with my mother.
This is the book that I told you about.
Who, which, that and when can be omitted when they are the object of the verb in the
second clause, e.g. There’s the man that the police have been looking for. Whose and
where can’t be omitted.
2 Combine the sentences. Use who, which, that, where or when.
