| Using Commas |
If a sentence has more than one point, you may keep those points seperated by using a comma:
I asked him to be quite, but he kept on yelling.
In this sentence the first point is that "I asked him to be quite" and the second point is that "he kept on yelling". You see- two related points seperated by a single comma.
Commas are also used to add extra pieces of information into a sentence thus:
John, who was 4ft 2 and had a long beard, spoke softly to the children.
Another use for a comma is in lists:
I went to the local shop and bought eggs, milk, cheese, bread and coffee.
Be sure to use "and" before the last item in the list as shown above.
WARNING: Be sure not to add in too many commas! |
