      6:11 george and charles examples aren't the same? I think they are both defining clauses.

    The first sentence "The friend that I want to introduce you to is away this weekend" correct one. because in defining clauses we do not use possessive pronoun such as his, her.

      The video is good! Thank you! But, I think, your teacher is no worse than the presenter. 1.Sometimes the problem is the students. There are some, who can not understand this topic in his/her lifetime!
      2.This topic cannot be clarified definitively, there will always be a lot of unclear things. In particular, due to the vagueness of the key phrase in the presenter's explanation "central=essential=information". It depends on speaker's and listener's individual interpretation.

    "They had one daughter.She is an actor." Hv to Combine them to form relative clause & identify type Def or ND.
    They had 1 daughter who is an actor. Non def clause?

    • @oxfordenglishnow
      @oxfordenglishnow  5 років тому +11

      I agree with you: I think it is non-defining because it is giving extra information about the daughter. It would also need a comma. So, They had one daughter, who is an actor."
