I hope this helps you decide whether these sentences are defining or non-defining relative clauses.
Defining clauses give important information which tells us exactly what is being referred to.
That book which you lent me is really good.
Everyone who got to the sales early found excellent bargains.
The person who finishes first will be the winner, of course.
Non-defining clauses add extra information, separated by commas in writing, and intonation in speaking.
The book, which I hadnít read, was still on the shelf.
Davidís sister, who likes cats, offered to take one of the kittens.
Helen picked up the book, which had a green cover.
