USE YOUR PUNCTUATION PACKET TO HELP YOU COMPLETE THE FOLLOWING

Comma Rules
 Use a comma before a coordinating conjunction (for, and, nor, but, or, yet, so) when it connects
TWO COMPLETE SENTENCES. If it does NOT join TWO COMPLETE THOUGHTS, no
comma is needed.
Practice: Joe wanted to attend the game but he decided to do his report instead.

Use commas between items in a series (three or more words, phrases, or clauses)
Practice: They drove to the post office parked the car and unloaded the boxes.

Use commas between adjectives of equal rank. Note: If switch the commas and the sentence does
not make sense, then NO COMMAS are necessary.
Which sentence would require commas?
The big yellow dog bit me.
The itchy scratchy sweater annoyed me.

Use a comma after an introductory word, phrase, or clause.
Practice: Yes I studied for the exam.
Practice: After I studied I took a break.
Practice: Screaming at the top of her lungs the girl yelled for her lost brother.

Use a comma with parenthetical expressions (words/phrases that interrupt a thought). Put a
comma on each side of the word/phrase that interrupts the sentence.
Practice: Sarah as you know is one of the top students in the class.
Practice: John however struggles in class.
Practice: Her room unfortunately is a disaster.

Example: I love animals; however, tigers scare me.
Practice: I had been there before as a result I didn't pay attention to the directions.
Practice: It's time to study also your room needs cleaned.
