incorrect
He brought the articles to the market which he wanted to sell.

non identifying clauses are those clause that tell us something additional about the subject and extra information labelled as adjective clause is separated by comma.Here in the sentence adjective clause is "which he wanted to sell" and is non essential as well.

He was displeased with my going away.
i am failed to understand the context of this sentence.Help me to explain this sentence.
He does nothing but complains.
Let we split the sentence into
1.He does nothing
2.but complains
since both parts are independent clauses and can stand by its own.Such clauses are joined by comma except other than this i've seen no mistake.
so correct sentence would be
He does nothing,but complains.
Remember here word complains is a main verb of subject "he".
