Nonessential Information

Use commas to separate the nonessential information in a sentence. Nonessential information adds information to a sentence, but doesn't change the meaning of the sentence. The birds outside my window, a cardinal and a blue jay, are fighting over the birdbath. We need to vacuum the carpet, dust the furniture, and decorate before the party.
