Restrictive clause. Clauses that add vital information to sentences are called
“restrictive.” They appear wherever the writer chooses in a sentence and are not set o by commas, as are nonrestrictive clauses, which are so marked to indicate that the information they contribute to a sentence is less critical.
Restrictive clauses are most commonly introduced by relative pronouns and
demonstrative pronouns Sally is the person who is in charge. She has the plan that will be put into e ect.” In the example sentences, who and that introduce the restrictive clauses. It is clear that they are restrictive because the sentences would not be complete or convey the same idea without them. Compare Sally, who works in development, is in charge. She has a plan, which will be put into e ect, that calls for

automation Who again introduces the same clause, but it is now nonrestrictive—
if it is removed from the sentence, we still will get the main point Sally is in charge.
In the second example sentence which is now used to introduce the will be put into e ect” clause because it is now nonrestrictive—the point is about automation,
not that the plan will be activated. Note that the nonrestrictive clauses created in the latter two examples are set off by commas.
Errors common with these two kinds of clauses include adding commas before restrictive clauses, using which for “that,” and not setting o nonrestrictive clauses with commas.
