great explanation... i love it, thanks a lot... will use it in class for my students :)

[gmsherry1953]

There's an issue whether "which" must be used with non-restrictive phrases, and "that" with restrictive phrases. Many authorities say it's improper to write "Rain which falls on Tuesdays makes me sad"; they would insist on "Rain that falls on Tuesdays makes me sad." I don't like that rule, but if one adheres to it, it does make restrictive and non-restrictive phrases (about non-human subjects) easier to distinguish.

The guy above, who'd just taught about Grammar, is a good Instructor. The topic which he chosed was a good one.

That English Grammar Tutor, who taught about restrictive and non-restrictive elements, is great. Was my first sentence which I just wrote accurate?

In non-restrictive clause case, one can leave it out and the statement's effect doesn't change the meaning. That is why the non-restrictive clause is set off with the set of commas. "Electricity shocks you!"

Good lesson! Thank you very much.

superb!!!

[AIMANALI]

Ones again - great job. I used a dash instead of comma.

[ryan21113]

What do you use when it comes to using a dash? =)
