A Relative Clause is a part of a sentence that gives more information about a noun. It begins with a relative pronoun such as who, whom, whose, which, that, where, or when.
A Defining Relative Clause tells us exactly which person, thing, or place we are talking about. It gives essential information. Without it, the sentence is incomplete or unclear.
No commas are used.
Structure
Noun + Relative Pronoun + Relative Clause
Examples from the Lesson
The woman who taught him surfing had been bitten by a shark.
Nick has a small foot which helps him balance.
The special plastic device that his mother invented helped him hold a pen.
A Non-defining Relative Clause gives extra information about a person or thing that is already identified. The sentence still makes complete sense without this clause.
Commas (,) or dashes (—) are used.
Structure
Noun, + Relative Pronoun + Relative Clause, + Rest of the sentence
Examples from the Lesson
Nick, who was teased and bullied, had an electric wheelchair.
Nick Vujicic, who was born without arms and legs, became a motivational speaker.
His mother, who was a nurse, blamed herself.
Bethany Hamilton, who lost her arm in a shark attack, taught Nick surfing.
Nick, who later earned a degree in Financial Planning and Real Estate, inspired millions.

Respected Headmaster, dear teachers, honoured guests, and my dear friends,
Good morning to everyone.
Today, we celebrate India's 80th Independence Day. It is a day of happiness and pride.
Freedom is a precious gift. Many brave men and women sacrificed their lives to give us this gift. We must never forget them.
The best way to thank them is to be good citizens. We should study well, respect everyone, help those in need, and keep our country clean.
Let us love our nation with all our hearts and work together for a bright future.
Jai Hind! Thank you!
Respected Headmaster, dear teachers, honoured guests, and my dear friends,
Good morning to everyone.
India is our home. It is a land of many languages, cultures, festivals, and traditions. Though we are different, we are one family.
Today, on India's 80th Independence Day, let us promise to love our country, respect our national symbols, and care for nature.
A happy India begins with good children. Let us be honest, kind, and responsible.
Jai Bharat! Jai Hind! Thank you!
Respected Headmaster, dear teachers, honoured guests, and my dear friends,
Good morning.

May our country always be strong, peaceful, and united.
Jai Hind! Thank you!
Respected Headmaster, dear teachers, honoured guests, and my dear friends,
Good morning to all.
On this special Independence Day, let us think about one question: How can I help my country?
We can save water, plant trees, keep our school clean, obey traffic rules, and respect all people.
Small actions by millions of children can make a big difference.
Let us be the children who make India proud.
Jai Hind! Thank you!
Respected Headmaster, dear teachers, honoured guests, and my dear friends,
Good morning.
Today, we celebrate India's 80th Independence Day with great joy.

Let us work together for a happy, healthy, and developed India.
Jai Hind! Vande Mataram! Thank you!
Respected Headmaster, teachers, guests, and my dear
friends,
Good morning to everyone.
Today, I am very happy to speak on the occasion of India's
80th Independence Day.
On 15th August 1947, India became free from British
rule. We remember and thank our great freedom fighters like Mahatma Gandhi,
Bhagat Singh, Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose, and many others who sacrificed
their lives for our country.
India is a land of unity, peace, and diversity. We should
love our country, respect our national flag, and be proud to be Indians.
As students, we can serve our nation by studying well, being
honest, keeping our surroundings clean, and helping others.
Let us work together to make India strong, clean, and
peaceful.
Jai Hind!
Jai Bharat!
Thank you.
Respected Headmaster, dear teachers, honoured guests, and
my dear friends,
Good morning to everyone.
Today, we are celebrating India's 80th Independence Day
with great joy and pride.
On 15th August 1947, our country became free after a
long struggle. We are thankful to our brave freedom fighters like Mahatma
Gandhi, Bhagat Singh, Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose, Sarojini Naidu, and many
others who worked hard for our freedom.
Freedom is a precious gift. We must use it wisely by being
honest, kind, disciplined, and responsible. As students, we should study well,
obey our parents and teachers, keep our school and surroundings clean, and
always respect our nation.
Let us love our country and do our best to make India
stronger and brighter.
Jai Hind!

Our freedom fighters gave us a free India. Now, it is our
turn to make our country better. We may be young, but we can do many good
things.
We can plant trees, keep our school and village clean, respect
our elders, help people in need, and study sincerely. Every good habit makes
our country stronger.
Let us always remember that the future of India is in the
hands of today's children. Let us promise to be good students today and
responsible citizens tomorrow.
Together, let us build a clean, kind, peaceful, and
developed India.
Jai Hind!
Jai Bharat!
Thank you.
Respected Headmaster, dear teachers, honoured guests, and
my dear friends,
Good morning to everyone.
Today, we have gathered to celebrate India's 80th
Independence Day.
We enjoy many freedoms every day. We can go to school, play
with our friends, speak freely, and dream about our future. These freedoms are
the precious gifts of our brave freedom fighters.
Freedom also brings responsibility. We should respect our
country, follow rules, protect public property, save water and trees, and treat
everyone with love and kindness.
Let us not celebrate Independence Day only with flags and
songs. Let us celebrate it through our good actions every day.
If every child becomes a good citizen, India will become an
even greater nation.
Let us always be proud to say,
"I am an Indian, and I will do my best for my
country."
Jai Hind!
Vande Mataram!
Thank you.
Respected Headmaster, dear teachers, honoured guests, and
my dear friends,
Good morning to everyone.
Today, we are celebrating India's 80th Independence Day.
It is a day to remember our great heroes who fought bravely for our freedom.
India is not just a country on the map. It is our home. It
is the land of the Himalayas, the Ganga, colourful festivals, different
languages, and loving people. Though we are different, we are united as one
nation.
We can show our love for India by speaking the truth,
helping others, respecting our parents and teachers, and keeping our
surroundings clean. Every small good deed makes our country better.
Let us always be proud of our nation and work hard to make
India shine brighter in the future.
Together, let us say with pride,
"One Nation, One Heart, One Dream – India!"
Jai Hind!
Jai Bharat!
Thank you.
Respected Headmaster, dear teachers, honoured guests, and
my dear friends,
Good morning to everyone.
Today, we are gathered here to celebrate India's 80th
Independence Day.
When we look at our national flag, it reminds us of our
duties. The saffron colour teaches us courage, the white colour
teaches us peace and truth, and the green colour teaches us growth and
prosperity. The Ashoka Chakra reminds us to keep moving forward and
always do the right thing.
Let us follow these values in our daily life. Let us be
honest, kind, hardworking, and helpful. These simple qualities can make our
country stronger.
On this special day, let us thank our freedom fighters and
salute our brave soldiers who protect our nation.
May our Tricolour always fly high, and may our country
continue to grow in peace and progress.
Jai Hind!
Vande Mataram!

We can save water, plant trees, keep our school clean, obey traffic rules, and respect all people.
Small actions by millions of children can make a big difference.
Let us be the children who make India proud.
Jai Hind! Thank you!
Respected Headmaster, dear teachers, honoured guests, and my dear friends,
Good morning.
Today, we celebrate India's 80th Independence Day with great joy.
I dream of an India where every child goes to school, every family lives in peace, every village is clean, and every citizen is honest and kind.
This dream can come true if each one of us does our duty sincerely.
Let us work together for a happy, healthy, and developed India.
Jai Hind! Vande Mataram! Thank you!
Respected Headmaster, teachers, guests, and my dear
friends,
Good morning to everyone.
Today, I am very happy to speak on the occasion of India's
80th Independence Day.
On 15th August 1947, India became free from British
rule. We remember and thank our great freedom fighters like Mahatma Gandhi,
Bhagat Singh, Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose, and many others who sacrificed
their lives for our country.
India is a land of unity, peace, and diversity. We should
love our country, respect our national flag, and be proud to be Indians.
As students, we can serve our nation by studying well, being
honest, keeping our surroundings clean, and helping others.
Let us work together to make India strong, clean, and
peaceful.
Jai Hind!
Jai Bharat!
Thank you.
Respected Headmaster, dear teachers, honoured guests, and
my dear friends,
Good morning to everyone.
Today, we are celebrating India's 80th Independence Day
with great joy and pride.
On 15th August 1947, our country became free after a
long struggle. We are thankful to our brave freedom fighters like Mahatma
Gandhi, Bhagat Singh, Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose, Sarojini Naidu, and many
others who worked hard for our freedom.
Freedom is a precious gift. We must use it wisely by being
honest, kind, disciplined, and responsible. As students, we should study well,
obey our parents and teachers, keep our school and surroundings clean, and
always respect our nation.
Let us love our country and do our best to make India
stronger and brighter.
Jai Hind!
Vande Mataram!
Thank you.
Respected Headmaster, dear teachers, honoured guests, and
my dear friends,
Good morning to everyone.
Today, we are celebrating India's 80th Independence Day.
This is a day of joy, pride, and gratitude.
Our freedom fighters gave us a free India. Now, it is our
turn to make our country better. We may be young, but we can do many good
things.
We can plant trees, keep our school and village clean, respect
our elders, help people in need, and study sincerely. Every good habit makes
our country stronger.
Let us always remember that the future of India is in the
hands of today's children. Let us promise to be good students today and
responsible citizens tomorrow.
Together, let us build a clean, kind, peaceful, and
developed India.
Jai Hind!
Jai Bharat!
Thank you.
Respected Headmaster, dear teachers, honoured guests, and
my dear friends,
Good morning to everyone.
Today, we have gathered to celebrate India's 80th
Independence Day.
We enjoy many freedoms every day. We can go to school, play
with our friends, speak freely, and dream about our future. These freedoms are
the precious gifts of our brave freedom fighters.
Freedom also brings responsibility. We should respect our
country, follow rules, protect public property, save water and trees, and treat
everyone with love and kindness.
Let us not celebrate Independence Day only with flags and
songs. Let us celebrate it through our good actions every day.
If every child becomes a good citizen, India will become an
even greater nation.
Let us always be proud to say,
"I am an Indian, and I will do my best for my
country."
Jai Hind!
Vande Mataram!
Thank you.
Respected Headmaster, dear teachers, honoured guests, and
my dear friends,
Good morning to everyone.
Today, we are celebrating India's 80th Independence Day.
It is a day to remember our great heroes who fought bravely for our freedom.
India is not just a country on the map. It is our home. It
is the land of the Himalayas, the Ganga, colourful festivals, different
languages, and loving people. Though we are different, we are united as one
nation.
We can show our love for India by speaking the truth,
helping others, respecting our parents and teachers, and keeping our
surroundings clean. Every small good deed makes our country better.
Let us always be proud of our nation and work hard to make
India shine brighter in the future.
Together, let us say with pride,
"One Nation, One Heart, One Dream – India!"
Jai Hind!
Jai Bharat!
Thank you.
Respected Headmaster, dear teachers, honoured guests, and
my dear friends,
Good morning to everyone.
Today, we are gathered here to celebrate India's 80th
Independence Day.
When we look at our national flag, it reminds us of our
duties. The saffron colour teaches us courage, the white colour
teaches us peace and truth, and the green colour teaches us growth and
prosperity. The Ashoka Chakra reminds us to keep moving forward and
always do the right thing.
Let us follow these values in our daily life. Let us be
honest, kind, hardworking, and helpful. These simple qualities can make our
country stronger.
On this special day, let us thank our freedom fighters and
salute our brave soldiers who protect our nation.
May our Tricolour always fly high, and may our country
continue to grow in peace and progress.
