"Restrictive," "non-restrictive," "essential" and "non-essential" are basically synonyms. You're right that I should mention this earlier, like I included "relative clause" as a synonym for "adjective clause."The Grammar Geekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13489596374246280738noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6935724635057799138.post-66882816038863604752010-08-05T19:52:05.135-10:002010-08-05T19:52:05.135-10:00The only revision I'd suggest is that you intr...The only revision I'd suggest is that you introduce (and define) the concept of restrictive and nonrestrictive clauses. I suggest this because nearly every other explanation will use these terms, which can be confusing.

I personally prefer the phrase "essential clause" and "non-essential clause,"Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06132785985883387716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6935724635057799138.post-43798447898668577712010-07-26T05:26:15.004-10:002010-07-26T05:26:15.004-10:00This is very good.
