Adjective clauses, which are the ones that modify or describe nouns, can be either nonrestrictive or restrictive. Nonrestrictive clauses are those whose content is not essential to the meaning of the sentence, and therefore, should always be set off by commas.
The sentence 1 “Yo-Yo Ma who was born in Paris is a Chinese American cellist” contains an error because the nonrestrictive clause “who was born in Paris” is not set off by commas as it should. The revision that would correct this error is <em>Yo-Yo Ma, who was born in Paris, is a Chinese American cellist.</em>
