Question

middle school L.A DON'T USE PROFESSIONAL WORDS SO MY TEACHER COULD THINK ITS ME AND I WILL GIVE YOU BRAINLIEST!!!! What is the difference between a restrictive parenthetical element and a non-restrictive parenthetical element? What types of punctuation marked may be used with non-restrictive parenthetical elements?

Answer 1

Answer:

A restrictive element restricts the meaning of the word it modifies and is therefore essential to the meaning of the sentence.  A nonrestrictive element describes a word whose meaning is already clear without the additional words. It is not essential to the meaning of the sentence and is set off with comma.

commas are used with the non-restrictive element.
