A Few Easy Comma Rules Here are two of the most frequently misunderstood comma rules (consult your handbook for the other comma rules): Use commas for sentence interruptions: When you interrupt your sentence to explain or clarify, put commas on both sides of the interruption. Examples: Eastern is a small school in Charleston, Illinois, and it has a beautiful campus. I yelled at my older sister, Mary, because she was being a jerk. I have one degree in mycology, the science of fungi, and another in music. Put a comma after introductory words in a sentence: Examples: Well, I think it's time someone said something. Now, you don't have to agree, but I think it's stupid. So, where have you been? |
