OpenStudy (misssmartiez):

C.

OpenStudy (misssmartiez):

Can you tell me why?

OpenStudy (kyanthedoodle):

Commas are used after a clause and before and after the mentioning of a name.

OpenStudy (misssmartiez):

OpenStudy (misssmartiez):

So, why put a comma before it?

OpenStudy (misssmartiez):

It doesn't need to pause, don't you think?

OpenStudy (kyanthedoodle):

Well yes, but the clause before it does.

OpenStudy (misssmartiez):

-.- It doesn't need to pause, THERE.

OpenStudy (misssmartiez):
