20. IDENTIFYING AND NON- IDENTIFYING ADJECTIVE CLAUSES We DO NOT use commas with non-identifying (or NON-ESSENTIAL) adjective clauses. The lady, who has green hair, is stealing our food. The lady who has green hair is stealing our food.

21. IDENTIFYING AND NON- IDENTIFYING ADJECTIVE CLAUSES We cannot use identifying ACs for PRONOUNS or something that there is only 1 of. The Earth which is large and blue must be saved. This is saying that there are many Earths and you are talking about 1 only!

22. IDENTIFYING AND NON- IDENTIFYING ADJECTIVE CLAUSES A NON-identifying AC just gives interesting details about the subject. Which man are you looking for? I’m looking for the man who has a red hat.
