Please would you correct my sentence? I am not sure if the second part of the sentence is non-restrictive or restrictive.

1.The doctors promissed him an operaton that was never carried out.
or maybe it should be:
2.The doctors promissed him an operation, which was never carried out.
 
Hello, Bassim.:-D

I'd use the non-restrictive version.
I think it's 'promis...' ;-)
 
Hello again.:-D
I really hate to say this to a good English writer like you, but I thought you might probably have meant 'promised', not 'promissed'.
 
Hello tzfujimino,
Thank you for your reply. I see now that I made a mistake. It should be "promised."
