    The key takeaways are about using relative pronouns and clauses, as well as the difference between defining and non-defining relative clauses. It also discusses contact clauses and how to combine sentences.

    Relative pronouns are words like who, whom, whose, which, and that. They are used to join two clauses and refer back to a noun or pronoun in an earlier clause. Examples of their use are provided.

    Defining relative clauses identify a specific noun, while non-defining clauses provide extra identifying information about a noun. Commas are used differently with each type of clause.
