Commas

A brief but not complete overviewMaterials borrowed from: http://grammar.ccc.commnet.edu/grammar/commas.htm

• Use a comma to separate the elements in a series • “He hit the ball, dropped the

bat, and ran to first base."

• Use a comma + a little conjunction (and, but, for, nor, yet, or, so) to connect two independent clauses • He hit the ball well, but he ran

toward third base.

• Use a comma to set off introductory elements – “Running toward third base,

he suddenly realized how stupid he looked.”

• Use a comma to set off parenthetical elements – "The Founders Bridge, which

spans the Connecticut River, is falling down."

• Use a comma to set off quoted elements – Summing up this argument, Peter Coveney

writes, "The purpose and strength of the romantic image of the child had been above all to establish a relation between childhood and adult consciousness."

• Use commas to set off phrases that express contrast – Some say the world will end in ice, not fire.

• Use a comma to avoid confusion. – For most the year is already finished.– For most, the year is already

finished.

• Never use only one comma between a subject and its verb – "Believing completely and positively

in oneself is essential for success." [Although readers might pause after the word "oneself," there is no reason to put a comma there. ]

• Typographical Reasons– Hartford, Connecticut – 10,000

• Use commas with caution NOT willy-nilly
