JRNL 201 Lecture Notes - Lecture 2: Ap Stylebook, Comma Splice, Adverbial Clause
Document Summary
But the nine listed here, distilled by high school english teacher. Mary penny in the 1940s, have been found over the years to take care of most everyday comma problems. Use commas in compound sentences when clauses are separated by a conjunction such as (cid:862)a(cid:374)d,(cid:863) (cid:862)(cid:271)ut,(cid:863) (cid:862)fo(cid:396),(cid:863) (cid:862)(cid:374)o(cid:396),(cid:863) o(cid:396) (cid:862)(cid:455)et. (cid:863) She managed the restaurant, but he did the cooking. A pe(cid:396)iod o(cid:396) semicolon is needed to make a correct sentence: She managed the restaurant; he did the cooking. Use commas to separate elements in a series. Such elements usually are adjectives, verbs, or nouns. Note: journalism departs from traditional rules of punctuation by leaving the comma out before a conjunction in a series of elements, following this rule in the associated press stylebook. The text in this book follows the comma in a series rule, but the journalism examples do not as you may have already noticed in reading this text.
