Answer 10

The other day I was reviewing commas for a test and I took some notes.. maybe they will help you!


COMMA: This is a punctuation mark that may be used to indicate a pause, connection, separation, list, for clarity or to show importance.


Rules:
- Use a comma to set off words of a direct address, and yes and no.
- Comma goes inside quotation marks.
- Use a comma after an introductory word or word group.
- Joe likes eggs; however, Melissa likes cereal.  (semicolon with conjunctive adverb). We can use a conjunctive adverb after the semicolon if we want to more clearly show a relationship between the sentences. Conjunctive adverbs are words like however, nevertheless, consequently, as a result, therefore. Remember that a comma needs to follow the conjunctive adverb, and a semicolon should come before it as in the example above.
- Don’t use a comma between adjectives and nouns.
A review by a published, writer would be helpful. - This is incorrect.
A review by a published writer would be helpful. - this is correct.
- Don’t use a comma between adverbs and adjectives.
My house is a delightfully, chaotic environment for children. - incorrect
My house is a delightfully chaotic environment for children. - correct
- Don’t use a comma after coordinating conjunctions (for, and, nor, but, or, yet, so).
His head injury was severe so, the doctors began to worry. - incorrect
His head injury was severe, so the doctors began to worry. - correct

When not to use commas:

X Don’t use commas to separate two actions of a subject [simple or compound].
X Don’t use commas to separate two independent clauses if there is no conjunction between them. This would be a comma splice, you need a semi colon instead.
X Don’t use commas to separate the subject from the predicate.
X Don’t use commas to separate items in a series when you use a conjunction between each element in the series
Incorrect: I wanted to find him, and confront him, and beat some sense into him.
X Don’t use commas to separate two nouns or noun phrases in a compound object
