I found it
If you have one single adjective before a noun, do not use a comma. For example: The big book has 150 pages. The red apple was eaten. The nice girl helped her mother. If you have more than one adjective before a noun, separate the adjectives with commas, but do not use a comma between the adjective and the noun. For example: The big, interesting book has 150 pages. The delicious, red apple was eaten. The nice, young girl helped her mother.
so would it be A?
Now look at your choices. A. The playful curious, baby seal swam toward the tourists. "playful", "curious", and "baby" are all adjectives. You need commas between the adjectives, but not between the adjective and the noun. It should be "A. The playful, curious, baby seal swam toward the tourists. The comma after "playful" is missing, so choice A is incorrect.
oh
Now let's look at choice B. "Please don't touch that sharp, rusty nail." Which words are the adjectives?
sharp and rusty?
Correct. Which word is the noun?
i think im wrong but nail?
"nail" is correct. A nail is a thing. A thing is a noun. Anyway, the two adjectives are separated by a comma, but there is no comma between the adjective and the noun. This sentence is correct.
oh okay! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!
Choice C. She has colorful attractive furniture in her apartment. There are two adjectives "colorful" and "attractive", but no comma between them, so it is incorrect. It should be "C. She has colorful, attractive furniture in her apartment." Choice C is incorrect.
Finally, choice D. "This warm sunny weather will last all week." "warm" and "sunny" are adjectives, so there should be a comma between them. D should be "This warm, sunny weather will last all week." D is also incorrect.
Only choice B is correct.
Do you mind helping me on the rest of my H.W?
Which sentence does not contain any errors in comma usage? A. There was no moon that night so, we couldn't see the street well. B. Some people wanted to postpone the vote and others demanded a vote that very night. C. The boys were late for the bus but luckily the bus was also late. D. We can go on a picnic, or we can go swimming.
I think its A.
When you connect two complete sentences with "and", "or", "nor", "but", "yet", "so" the correct way to use a comma is to use the comma before any of these words. For example: Sentence 1: I ate my lunch. Sentence 2: I made a mess. Combining the two sentences with "and" becomes: "I ate my lunch, and I made a mess." Notice that the sentences were combined using the word"and", and the comma appears before the word "and", not after. Also, both sentences were complete sentences with subject and verb.
wait is A right? or would it be d?
Is the comma in A before or after "so"?
When you connect sentence with the word "so", the comma comes before the word "so", not after. A is incorrect.
ohhh I suck at this
This is not hard. In each choice, find two statements. The statements are connected with "and", "or", yet", so", etc. The comma must be before one of those words, not after.
okay thank you so much for your help!! :)
A. Sentence 1: There was no moon that night. Sentence 2: We couldn't see the street well. Connect them with "so": "There was no moon that night, so we couldn't see the street well." The comma is before "so". Since the choice has the comma after "so", the choice is incorrect.
B. Sentence 1: Some people wanted to postpone the vote. Sentence 2: Others demanded a vote that very night. Connect the sentences with "and": "Some people wanted to postpone the vote, and others demanded a vote that very night." The comma comes before the word "and". Since the choice has no comma, the choice is incorrect.
C. Sentence 1: The boys were late for the bus. Sentence 2: Luckily the bus was also late. Combine the sentences with "but": "The boys were late for the bus, but luckily the bus was also late." Again, the comma needs to be before "but". Since there is no comma in the choice, choice C is incorrect.
D. Sentence 1: We can go on a picnic. Sentence 2: We can go swimming. Combine the sentences with "or". It should be: "We can go on a picnic, or we can go swimming." Since the choice has the comma before "or", this choice is correct.
The answer is D.
