Thank you for always being so helpful!!! On rule 6, how do we know when should we use comma and when should not when encountering words like "that" "which" ...?

[@xjessie0069]

like how do we define if a clause is required(essential) or not, please?

[@SetteleTutoring]

It’s hard to talk about comma rules in a succinct way. They are very variable and specific to the circumstances. But the example you’re asking about is more reliable than most. For whatever reason, “that” does not usually get a comma, but “which” does. But it’s easy to find exceptions, and the SAT could give them too:
“It doesn’t matter which program you download.”
“I told my father, who once owned a business, that I wanted to work for myself.”

[@SetteleTutoring]

The best way to know if a clause is required or not is to test it out. Try reading the sentence in parts and see how it sounds. If you remove a piece, does it still sound like a complete sentence? Unfortunately, knowing when something is a complete sentence is mostly about instinct. There are grammar rules we can follow about whether a clause has a subject and a verb, but I find that method confusing and unhelpful. You end up picking the sentence apart too much to get a sense of whether it works as a whole. I talk about listening for sentences a bit at the end of the Grammar Quiz video. Let me know if that helps:

[@SetteleTutoring]

Glad you think so!

[@mastermafia160]

All the topics covered here were already known to me. Thanks to Erica Meltzer's "The Ultimate Guide To SAT Grammar" book.

[@SetteleTutoring]

Yeah, the grammar is very predictable and consistent.

[@Saint_Ayisoba]

I want to choose a perfect month to write the SAT because I don’t have the funds to rewrite another. Do you have any suggestions?

[@SetteleTutoring]

Pick the time that is going to be best for your study schedule. You want about 2-3 months of study time before the actual exam. Pick a date when you won’t be too busy to study in the weeks and months before the SAT. Otherwise, it really doesn’t matter. Just don’t wait too long because colleges cut off the acceptable test dates for certain application deadlines.
