5. Using commas with relative clauses
5.1 defining and non-defining relative clauses
[...]*
Compare the following sentences:
1. My sister who lives in Scotland is coming to visit me at the weekend.
(= defining clause)
2. My sister, who lives in Scotland, is coming to visit me at the weekend.
(= non-defining clause)
Both sentences are correct, but the meaning is defferent.
In sentence 1 the writer or speaker has more than one sister, and the
relative clause identifies which sister is being referred to, namely
the sister who lives in Scotland.
In sentence 2 the writer or speaker has only one sister, so it is clear
who is being referred to. The fact that she lives in Scotland is not
important, and could be omitted without changing the meaning of the
sentence: My sister is coming to visit me at the weekend.
*這部份跟前一篇講的一樣,故不重覆
