Punctuating Adjective Clauses
An adjective clause is usually introduced by a relative pronoun, such as who, whom, whose, that, or which.
To punctuate an adjective clause, we must first know if the information it adds to the sentence is essential (creating a restrictive clause) to the meaning of the sentence or non-essential (a non-restrictive clause).
A restrictive clause is not usually set off by commas. A non-restrictive clause is usually set off by commas.
For each of the following sentences, identify the adjective clause, and determine whether it is restrictive or non-restrictive.
