“Jim my father is going to drive me to the mall.”Which element in the sentence is nonrestrictive?

“My father” is a nonrestrictive appositive: it adds information identifying Jim but is not needed to distinguish him from someone else. It should be set off with commas: “Jim, my father, is going to drive me to the mall.” “Jim” is the person’s name, and “to the mall” is a prepositional phrase, not a nonrestrictive element.
