Remember that the two types of adjective clauses are identifying and nonidentifying. Identifying adjective clauses identify or give eessential information. Nonidentifying clauses give additional or nonessential information.

  • I saw three movies last week. The movie that I liked best was "Captain America."

The adjective clause that I liked best is identifying because it says which movie I am talking about. If the clause were removed, the sentence would not make complete sense.

  • The movie was "Captain America."

Therefore, the clause is necessary for the sentence to make sense.

  • "Casablanca," which contains the famous song "As Time Goes By," is considered a film classic.
