Set off commas

by sanjoy18 » Thu Jun 26, 2014 8:29 am

I learned that we should ignore any modifying phrases set off by commas. But I want to know Can I ignore anything that is set-off by commas. for example any clause mainly dependent.

HI sanjoy18,

You're asking something of a generic question. While an intervening phrase that is offset by commas can generally be "moved past", sometimes those phrases provide information that can help you to choose the correct answer.

Do you have any specific SCs that you're curious about, in regards to this issue?
