Punctuation of Relative Clauses

 

Power Edit

 

#3
The problem in each sentence concerns the punctuation of relative clauses.  Rewrite each sentence so that it is correctly punctuated.

1. They ... do not have anyone who can take care of them. (no commas; restrictive relative clause)

2. She has one child who is good and one who is bad. (no commas; restrictive relative clause)

3. He set a good example for my parents, who thought that if he could do it, they could do it as well. (comma required; nonrestrictive relative clause)

4. They all depend on her husband, who works hard for a living. (comma required; nonrestrictive relative clause)
