I changed "the tile which" to "the tile that". In its original form, the sentence needs commas: "The tile, which fell from the roof, broke into pieces." The nuance in the original is that there is only one possible tile that the speaker could be talking about and the clause that follows provides an explanation about why it broke. Corrected, the sentence suggests there might be other tiles but the one that the speaker is talking about is the one that fell from the roof. The corrected version better fits the existing links to Spanish and French.
