112 views2 pages

Document Summary

Commas: items in a list, example: i bought chocolate, ice-cream, popcorn, and flowers, items in a series, example: i like to jump, sing, dance, and spin. The comma before (cid:498)and(cid:499) can have a comma; it is optional for the writer to put it. Kelly likes it when you put a comma before (cid:498)and(cid:499) that is her preference there. If the writer puts it once, they have to do it every time. Use a comma after an introductory word, phase or clause. Although i am nice, i am usually cranky. Since i am tired, i go to sleep. People need degrees: people = subject, need = verb. If you have one of these missing = fragment. An independent clause can stand on its own, w/o punctuation: example: degrees are useful = ic. How could you put together two independent clauses: ic.
