This is the book that I told you about. • Who, which, that and when can be omitted when they are the object of the verb in the second clause, e. g. There’s the man that the police have been looking for. Whose and where can’t be omitted.

NON DEFINING RELATIVE CLAUSES • They give extra information about people, things or places in the main clause. The extra information is not essential.
