class?

I don't know the reason why he was late.
This is the place where we have lived for 5 years.
I'll never forget the day when I met Mr Li for the first time.

7. 限制性定語從句和非限制性定語從句
(1)限制性定語從句是句中不可缺少的組成部分，主句和從句之間不用逗號分開。引導(dǎo)非限制性定語從句的關(guān)系代詞有who, whom, whose, which, of which等，這些關(guān)系代詞都不能省略。
