o Do not use commas when Adjective Clause needed to identify the noun that is described by him. o Use a comma if Adjective Clause serves only to provide additional information and is not intended to identify the noun that is described by him. + Henry whose wife works at a bank Came to my house yesterday. + Alex, whose wife works at a bank, Came to my house yesterday.
Description:
The first example illustrates that Henry has more than 1 wife. In this sentence the speaker wants to identify his wife who worked at the Bank, not the other.
While in the second sentence, we are clear, if Alex had only 1 man and wife. Phrases that are in between commas only provide additional information only. Without that phrase any other person already knows that his wife Alex was working in a bank because it was her only one.
Consider the following example for more details on the use of commas in the Adjective Clause.
o Sukarno, Who is the first president of Republic of Indonesia, Could deliver speech well.
