Which sentence is punctuated correctly? Despite the rain many people came to the outside wedding. We went to a new movie, and did some shopping, after we ate lunch at the deli. Over the summer, many people plan to travel to exotic places, and play at the beach. When I get to school, I eat breakfast because I do not have time to do it at home

Does the last sentence have a period on the end?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The second sentence is correct: "and did some shopping" is kind of like an afterthought right in the middle of the sentence, if that makes any sense. So, it needs to be set off with commas. If you remove the part between the commas, you will still have a complete sentence. The first one needs a comma. The third one has too many commas. The last one needs punctuation.

The third sentence is punctuated correctly.
