Hi, I learned and understood how to use relative clauses but what I want to know is that there is always a meaning difference between defining relative clause and non-defining relative clause?
I know that there is a meaning difference between two sisters who and two sisters, who...
However, sometimes I think it's not almost impossible to differentiate. For example,
The man who can speak English well , Jake is ....
The man, who can speak English well, Jake is...
In the end, in both sentences, we could know Jake can speak English well, so meaning is the same. Am I right? Or there is some meaing.difference or only one is acceptable?
This is a problem bothering me for a long time. Please help me get out it.
Thanks in advance.
