Punctuate dependent clause following independent clause

Good afternoon. thanks for taking the time to address people's concern about grammar. I have been doing some reading on dependent(adverbial) clause following the independent clause and I have not been able find lucid explanation on how to punctuate it, especially when the adverbial dependent clause is restrictive or not nonrestrictive. Do you have materials you can share, please

Restrictive / non restrictive (also called defining / non defining) clauses apply only to adjective clauses. They either define or restrict the noun they modify, or just add additional information. Non restrictive clauses are set off by commas.
