Adjective Clause
• are always dependent clauses
• some adjective clauses need to be set off by commas and others don't
• some adjective clauses are like gossip, they provide additional detail about someone (or something) whose identity we already know. Put commas around those
(My English teacher, who wears old fashioned ties, is laughed at by the students.)
• if the adjective clause helps identify or clarify only, no commas are inserted
(The English teachers that I like best forget to go to class.)
