4 Identifying and Non-Identifying Adjective Clauses A)Identifying adjective clauses provide essential information (give important information). They identify or define the person or thing in question. Example: 1- The woman whom you met at the airport is my neighbor If we remove the adjective clause it will be: The woman is my neighbor. (which woman?) so we need the adjective clause here. 2- The student whose notes I borrowed took great notes. If we remove the adjective clause it will be: The student took great notes. (which student?) we need the adjective clause again. B) Non-identifying adjective clauses provide additional information (give extra info). They do not identify or define the person or thing. They are separated by commas. Example: 1- Tom Cruise, who is left handed, is a well-known actor. If we remove the adjective clause it will be: Tom Cruise is a well-known actor. We do not need the adjective clause here because the meaning is clear without it. 3
