restrictive clause

micah, a good friend, is moving to wisconsin.

the bedtime story that my mother used to tell me is being made into a movie.

Explanation:

1. For "a good friend": It is a phrase (no subject-verb pair) set off by commas, providing extra non-essential info about Micah, so it is a nonrestrictive phrase.
2. For "that my mother used to tell me": It is a clause (has subject "my mother" and verb "used to tell") that narrows down which bedtime story is being discussed, and it is not set off by commas, so it is a restrictive clause.

Answer:

1. Micah, a good friend, is moving to Wisconsin. → nonrestrictive phrase
2. The bedtime story that my mother used to tell me is being made into a movie. → restrictive clause
