Use commas to offset interrupters. An interrupter is a word or group of words that tells more about (modifies) something in the sentence but is not essential to the meaning of the sentence. Grammar Bytes defines an interrupter as a word or group of words that "significantly breaks the flow of a sentence." Any football player not
practicing will be kicked off the squad. John Reynolds, who was
not practicing, was kicked off the squad. I want you to clean your room,
Thomas, before you leave the house. The young lady named Brooke,
if you must know, is very sweet. That movie, which I was
forced to sit through twice because my sister wouldn't give me a ride home,
was awful. ©2002 - 2017 M. Wolfman Thompson - All
