| Do I use commas to break off essential elements of a sentence? | |

| Well, can I use a comma to set off a non-essential element? | |
 | |  |
|
 |
 | |  |
| OF COURSE!!! Here is an example... When you say; "Students who cheat only harm themselves," you don't need a comma. | |

| An example of when you can set off an non-essential element is; "Fred, who often cheats, is just harming himself." The "who often cheats" is not essential so you can put it in quotations. | |
