RELATIVE CLAUSES
Veamos un ejemplo:
The Prince of England, who lives in Buckingham Palace, is called Charles.
Si la oración de relativo who lives in Buckingham Palace se omitiera, no habría
ningún problema para entender la frase principal, The Prince of England is called
Charles. La oración de relativo explicativa va entre comas (,), es un dato añadido, una
“explicación” y si se omite no se perdería el sentido de la oración principal.
3. RELATIVE ADVERBS
