please i'm a Nigerian preparing for this exam and the english has not really been easy for me cause we use British english.Can you please explain all the punctuations used in SAT and their point of application in different sentence.THANK YOU. i'm lucy by the way

This entire section describes SAT grammar questions. If you need help, say the sentence with the pauses, if it sounds odd, don't use it.

Does the name of a certain object or person count as necessary or unnecessary information?

It nearly always should. Any time you add new information to the subject that you didn't have before, it is necessary information that you can't remove without changing the meaning of the sentence. Unnecessary information on the SAT happens only when you describe something in a way that means nearly the exact same thing as something you already used to describe it, such as in: "The quick and speedy dog chased Usnavi down the street."

  You don’t really link independent clauses with a comma and relative pronoun. You can link them with a comma and coordinating conjunction or semicolon. You can, however, link a dependent and independent clause with a relative pronoun, and that construction sometimes needs a comma as well.
