March sentences use adjective clauses, which start with who, which, or that and modify a noun or pronoun directly in front of them. People who use them correctly use who only with people, which with places and things but never with people, and that with places or things and rarely with people. Adjective clauses that are necessary to the sentence don't take any commas, but other adjective clauses, ones that might not be necessary to the sentence, take a comma before and after the clause.

The examples are in the text--look at the red sections of each sentence.

Do you have to put commas before and after the clause?

The directions for commas are in the last sentence. If you use commas, you need both--one before the clause and one after. But if you consider the clause is necessary to the sense of the sentence, then you don't use any commas. It's a judgment call.

I got your reminders and posted the April directions. We did go over them in class on Monday, but I understand why you want them in writing too. Have fun! Leave a Reply. |
