Commas with Additional Information

Use a comma if the additional information is not part of the main statement.
Example:
Thank you, ladies and gentlemen, for giving me the opportunity to speak to you today.

Use a comma in relative clauses before who and which if the information is not essential for the understanding of the sentence.
Example:
Her brother, who lives in Chicago, came to see her.

Don’t use a comma in relative clauses if the information is essential for the understanding of the sentence.
Example:
Her brother who lives in Chicago came to see her.

Don’t use a comma if the relative clause starts with that.
Example:
The book that I’m reading now is interesting.

Example:
It was the father, and not the son, who went to the disco every Friday.
