Non-defining relative clauses

Non-defining relative clauses simply give us more information about something/someone.
The sentence makes complete sense without the relative clause.

Use Example
To give extra information about something/someone Ray Watson, who starred in Bandits, is considering making a film based on the life of Einstein.

Watch out!

• Non-defining relative clauses are separated from the rest of the sentence by commas.
✓ Megamonsters, which was filmed in New York, is a very disappointing film.

• We cannot leave out the word which introduces the relative clause and we cannot use the word that instead.
Megamonsters, was filmed in NewYork, is a very disappointing film.
Megamonsters, that was filmed in NewYork, is a very disappointing film.

• Which can refer back to the whole of the sentence.
✓ We finally got tickets for the concert, which was very lucky.
(It doesn't mean the concert was lucky. It means getting tickets for the concert was lucky.)
