group The sentences talks about. Do not use commas with this
kind of adjective Clause.

all the time.

a nonidentifying adjective clause to give additional

necessary to identify the noun. Use comma before and after the
adjective clause.
Example:

The verb in the adjective clause is singular if the subject

relative pronoun refers to a singular noun. It is plural if it
refers to a plural noun.

clause, the verb agrees with the subject of the adjective clause
Jorge is a student whose friends are important to him
Not Jorge is a student whose friends is important to him
