The main difference between a reduced relative clause and a non-reduced relative clause is that the former has some of its words omitted, while the latter does not. Non-reduced relative clauses typically begin with a relative pronoun and include a subject and verb, whereas reduced relative clauses omit the relative pronoun and sometimes the verb, and may have a participial phrase acting as the subject.
