Commas
Here are some rules for using commas.
• Use commas to separate items in a series. I enjoy football, baseball, and hockey. • Use commas to set off the name of someone being spoken to. This is called direct address. Use commas when the name is at the beginning, in the middle, or at the end of a sentence. Dad, are you awake? Yes, Tony, I am. Then look at this replay, Dad. • Use commas after introductory words and phrases in sentences. By the way, I never saw a play like that before. Boy, that was good! • Use commas in dates and addresses. Between the day and the month: Friday, September 13 Between the date and the year: The season starts on April 4, 2006. Between the city and the state: The World Series ended in St. Louis, Missouri. • Use commas in direct quotations. “I went to the seventh game of the World Series,” said Aunt Sue. Uncle Jake asked, “Who won that game?” |
