Essential vs Nonessential Clauses

[Stardew]

Sorry i started using the forum like a tutor.
Im studying for the SAT's and for some reason im struggling alot with essential and non-essential clauses
How do you determine if the information is extra or not, does anyone have any tips on it?
Thanks

ask chatgtt

 

[unknownincel]

Words are too big cant understand or comprehend

 

[Daddy Dick]

Let me put my thinking cap on then come back to this

 

[Stardew]

ask chatgtt

I asked a question to chatgpt and gemini
Chatgpt said its A
Gemini said its D
Answer key said its C
and i marked B
I understood why B wasn't correct but sometimes i can't rely on Ai.

 

[Daddy Dick]

give me the question and ill try and break it down and show u how it could or couldnt be non essential or essential

 

[Lundgren]

Break the core concept into it's own core parts. Think of what are the most relevant parts. Making a mind on the concept helps a lot.

Try removing the clause and see if the sentence still has the same meaning. If it does, it’s non-essential and needs commas; if removing it changes who or what the sentence refers to, it’s essential.

Ive been studying for the past 9 hours so that might be a reason too

Apologies. I thought you were asking a different question.

Simply search up comma rules and usage in the english language. It will be correct instead of us .org users.

 

[Stardew]

Naah, SAT is full of random paragraphs and they ask questions from there

 

[NorWayItsOver]

Yeah, if the meanings are really close, it can be hard to tell. After 9 hours of studying though, I’d honestly take a break, you might just be mentally cooked at this point

No no the usage of coma is simple here
If its extra you put 2
If its not you dont put any
Its about understanding whether the information is extra or not

 

[Stardew]

I took a few breaks
Also i have adhd meds so they help alot

Ask claude its superior to both

 

[Dolorous]

Never thought once in my life a Looksmax.org moderator would be posting such content.

"The car that is in the garage needs a new battery", no words or phrases can be taken out of this sentence because otherwise reading it wouldn't make sense

"My friend, from London, is coming to visit me next week." If you take out ", from London," the sentence is still grammatically valid.

Sadly there are much more difficult things on the SAT that you should worry about long reading passages asking for inferences

 

[Stardew]

As far as i know Claude is superior just for coding

[inversions]

If its extra

U can remove it and the sentence still makes sense after

 

[ykls.]

Also think very direct i think ur overthinking it a lot, ESSENTIAL and NON ESSENTIAL
ask Is this info essential? do i need it to know what we are talking about? is it extra information that is not needed?
if yes i do need this to know, essential
if no i dont need this to know the overall talking point, non essential
