Grammar Matters ------ GRAMMAR Please take out your notes for your studies in Grammar … Critical Question How is the question mark used in sentences? The question mark There are trickier scenarios Questions Masquerading as Statements Sometimes direct questions are tricky because they can look like statements, and the only way to tell your reader otherwise is to add a question mark. There is a big difference in the meaning of the following sentences. The question mark makes it a direct question that shows surprise. Statements with Tag Questions What about those little questions that come at the end of statements? Bits like did you and isn’t it are called the tag questions, and they turn the whole sentence into a question, so use a question mark at the end. Indirect Questions Do you have a curious nature? Do you wonder about things? When you wonder, your statements may sound like questions , but they are not direct questions, they’re indirect questions, and they don’t take a question mark. Bits like did you and isn’t it are called the tag questions, and they turn the whole sentence into a question, so use a question mark at the end. Indirect Questions Mixed with Direct Questions It gets really crazy when you starte to mix direct and indirect questions. There are multiple ways to writes these. Usually a comma after the first clause and a question mark after the direct question. Some style guides allow you to capitalize the first word in the direct question even though it comes in the middle of a sentence : Some use a colon: The Polite Question Sometimes your sentence looks like a question, but it is merely being polite. If you are writing a polite command, you do not need a question mark. Summary – How is the question mark used in sentences?

The comma—the most versatile (and therefore confusing) punctuation mark in the English language . The Serial Comma The serial comma comes before the final conjunction in a list. Whether to use a serial comma is a style decision. Though not always necessary, it is generally good to use it. It helps to avail any confusion..

Squiggly was proud of his new muffin recipes: blueberry, peanut butter and chocolate chip, and coconut. Adjectives and Commas Using commas with multiple adjectives is another challenge; fortunately, the rules are straightforward. 1. Can you put the word and between the adjectives and have the sentence still make sense? 2. Can you reverse the order of the adjectives and have the sentence still make sense? Adjectives and Commas Aardvark is a hairy and small mamma. Aardvark is a small and hairy mammal. Aardvark is a small, hairy mammal. Squiggly found four green Easter eggs.

Can you put the word and between the adjectives and have the sentence still make sense? 2. Can you reverse the order of the adjectives and have the sentence still make sense? The “ly” Adjective Challenge Sometimes you will use adjectives that look like adverbs. That’s a challenge. If the word is and adjective, you will use a comma. Aardvark took a long daily run. Aardvark trains hard daily. Aardvark trains daily hard. The “ly” Adjective Challenge Squiggly is a friendly yellow beast. Aardvark is a fiercely loyal friend. Aardvark is a loyal fiercely friend.

Commas and Coordinating Conjunctions One of the most common places to use commas is where two main clauses (independent clauses) are connected by a coordinating conjunction. You usually need a comma before the conjunction. Squiggly ran to the forest and Aardvark chased the squirrels. Squiggly ran to the forest but Aardvark chased the squirrels. Squiggly ran to the forest and chased the squirrels. Commas and Coordinating Conjunctions Squiggly cowered under a rock but felt brave. Commas and Coordinating Conjunctions And I love the holidays. And despite the extra work I love the holidays. Grammar Matters ------ GRAMMAR Please take out your notes for your studies in Grammar … Critical Question What is a comma splice, and how are commas related to run on sentences? Never Comma Splice Do not use a comma between two independent clauses (sentences) without a conjunction. It is an error called a comma splice, or a comma fault. It is easy to see why it is called a comma slice: the comma is used to slice together two complete sentences when that is not the function of a comma. Squiggly ran to the forest, Aardvark chased the squirrels. (where is the coordinating conjunction? Ahhggg – this is soooo wrong) Run-on Sentences Run-on sentences are, in some ways, the opposite of comma splices. Instead of using the wrong punctuation, they occur when you don’t use any punctuation between sentences. They are just sentences smashed together without any punctuation. Sometimes they are called fused sentences. You’re over halfway through this course you should be smarter by now. (Ahhggg – this is a run-on sentence, an EPIC FAIL) Summary – What is the difference between a comma splice, and run-on sentences? Grammar Matters ------ GRAMMAR Please take out your notes for your studies in Grammar … Critical Question How are commas used with subordinating conjunctions and with conditional Sentences? Commas and Subordinating Conjunctions Subordinating conjunctions join subordinate (or dependent) clauses to the main clause. Commas and Subordinating Conjunctions When the dependent clause comes first, use a comma! Commas and Subordinating Conjunctions When the dependent clause comes last, DO NOT use a comma! Commas and Subordinating Conjunctions Commas and Subordinating Conjunctions When the two parts of the sentence are in stark contrast, a comma is used. (Commas are often used to mark contrast when they would otherwise be left out.) Commas and the Conditional Sentence Conditional sentences have an if clause, such as, If you have any questions, let me know. The action depends on something else. If you have any questions, let me know means that you will let me know only if you have questions Like dependent clauses, the rule for the conditional sentence is when the “if clause” is at the beginning of the sentence, you need a comma. When the “if clause” is at the end of the sentence, you don’t need a comma. Conditional Clauses If you have any questions let me know. Let me know if you have any questions. Note: Sometimes when is Used instead of if. Summary – How are commas used with subordinating conjunctions and with conditional Sentences? Grammar Matters ------ GRAMMAR Please take out your notes for your studies in Grammar … Critical Question How are commas used with interjections, direct address, dates, numbers, locations, e.g. and I.E., and quotations? Commas with Interjections Interjections at the beginning of sentences are followed by commas (or exclamation points if you want to be more dramatic, or periods if you want to be more final). Commas with Direct Address : You Talkin’ to Me? In dialogue, use commas when directly addressing someone by name. Depending on how you write the sentence, the comma will be before of after the name. Commas and Dates When writing out a date, separate the day of the month from the year with a comma. Also use a comma after the year. Commas and Numbers Insert a commas when numbers are over 999, such as 1,203. This rule does not apply to dates. Commas and Locations Commas are necessary when writing about a city and state. The comma goes after the city and after the state. E.G. and I.E. If you use abbreviations e.g. and i.e., use a comma afterward; e.g. and i.e., are both abbreviations for Latin terms. E.G. and I.E. E.g. means “for example, so use it to introduce an example.” E.G. and I.E. I.e. means “this is” or “in other words,” so use it to introduce further clarification. Commas and Quotations You usually use commas to introduce dialogue with tags such as he said and she asked. Commas and Quotations Don’t use a comma when the quotation flows as part of the sentence—for example, when you introduce a quotation with words such as that or begins with or starts—thereby making the quotation part of your sentence.
