Hi, I am not entirely sure what you are really asking in your question. However, if you are asking what i believe you to be asking, i think that you are referring to a Subordinate Clause. This is a part of a sentence that is entirely dependant on the rest of the sentence; It can not stand alone and make sense. However, if the subordinate Clause is removed from the sentence, the remainder will, in theory, make sense. A Subordinate Clause is usually identifiable by a comma either side of its content. I hope this information has been useful. If there is anything else you wish to ask, or if i have misinterpreted your question, you can contact me directly by e-mail if you so wish. Best of luck,

Use commas to set off an unessential phrase or clause. Leave them out when the phrase is essential. Here are some examples: The copy machine that is in the vice president's office needs a toner cartridge. The copy machine, which is in the vice president's office, needs a toner cartridge. In the first sentence, the phrase that is in the vice president's officeis essential. The sentence implies there is more than one copy machine and the one in the VP's office is the one that needs toner. In the second sentence, the phrase set off by commas is unessential. The fact that the copier is in the VP's office is extra information and isn't needed to identify which machine needs service. Some grammar books and style guides insist that writers use the word that when introducing some essential clauses and the word which for introducing unessential ones.
The wording, "Your friend, Antoine, plays the drums, and your friend, Tammy, sings", is repetitive (friend), and the sentence needs 5 commas! One way to rewrite it would be: Two of my friends like music: Antoine plays the drums, and Tammy sings. Note that sentence uses a colon after music to connect the two halves of the sentence. Note that it only needs one comma.
A fragment sentence is a partial sentence. It does not have everything it needs to be a full sentence. For example: "The dog" is a fragment.

Most people use commas incorrectly. They either don't use them(,) even when the sentence needs a comma. Or, a writer, uses, too, many commas, and makes, the sentence, confusing, such as in this sentence. NOTE: Extra commas in the above sentence are used to show the problem with using too many commas. Please do NOT 'correct' that sentence.

To add punctuation to a declarative sentence, you typically end the sentence with a period. For emphasis or to convey strong emotions, you can also use exclamation points. Commas can also be used to separate phrases or items in the sentence.
This sentence needs commas: Packing, moving, and unpacking are exhausting. Note that the second comma is considered optional, although individual guidelines and style sheets will specify either including or omitting the comma before the last item in a series.

I wonder why he needs such an easy sentence.
A comma and a semi-colon both serve to separate parts of sentence that have their own specific subject matter, but the separation is slightly greater in the case of a semi-colon; it marks off a statement that could almost but not quite serve as a new sentence, rather than merely as a clause of the ongoing sentence. Commas are a lesser degree of separation.
