I just wanted to clear my concept. So I am posting this.
Question regarding use of that in the sentence as modifier:
1) Can we use That as modifier without comma? For example:your all dresses that you gave me last night were really beautiful.
2) Can we use That before comma? For example: Your all dresses that,you gave me last night were really beautiful.
3)Have I used That in this sentence correctly? For example: Your all dresses,that you gave me last night were really beautiful. I used That in this sentence after Comma so is this correct use?
Question regarding use of which as modifier in the sentence:
1) Can we use Which as modifier without comma? For example:your all dresses which you gave me last night were really beautiful.
2)Can we use Which before comma? For example: Your all dresses which,you gave me last night were really beautiful.

yes in fact most of the time i have found of question in which "that" is used without a comma1) Can we use That as modifier without comma? For example:your all dresses that you gave me last night were really beautiful.
2) Can we use That before comma? For example: Your all dresses that,you gave me last night were really beautiful.
yes depends on the construction but i feel ur this particular sentence is wrong
no i find ur sentence wrong with comma before "that" .Have I used That in this sentence correctly? For example: Your all dresses,that you gave me last night were really beautiful. I used That in this sentence after Comma so is this correct use
honestly most of the time i find this wrongCan we use Which as modifier without comma? For example:your all dresses which you gave me last night were really beautiful.
this one depends on contextCan we use Which before comma? For example: Your all dresses which,you gave me last night were really beautiful.

Yes, but not in the example that you have stated (where which is used as a relative pronoun). This is most common when which is used as a part of prepositional phrase. An official example:1) Can we use Which as modifier without comma? For example:your all dresses which you gave me last night were really beautiful.
Declining values for farm equipment and land, the collateral against which farmers borrow to get through the harvest season, are going to force many lenders to tighten or deny credit this spring.
against which is prepositional phrase (well..because against is a preposition) and so, there is no comma before which).
In most cases there indeed is a comma before which. So, if there is a comma after which, we are talking about a situation where there is a comma both before which and after which.2)Can we use Which before comma? For example: Your all dresses which,you gave me last night were really beautiful.
