(Which I had is not essential for this sentence to make sense)

7. EXAMPLE
My English teacher, Nathan Price, would swim in
the PE building pool every day.
You can take out “Nathan Price” and it will still make sense. So
its ok to put commas.
But if for some reason you have more then 1 English teacher
don’t put commas because the name is essential to know which
one you’re talking about.
