The

comma,

By: Adham Abdelradi

The comma.
After the full stop, the comma is the most used
punctuation mark. Commas usually indicate
that there is a brief pause in the sentence.
However, commas are used differently
depending on the sentences,
Rule #1
Use commas to separate independent clauses when they are
joined by coordinating conjunctions
(and,but,for,or,nor,so,yet).
● Independent clause: Expresses a complete thought
(could stand alone as a complete sentence)
● Dependent clause: Expresses an incomplete thought (can
NOT stand alone as a complete sentence).
Example 1, Rule 1
Bad: Kitty walked into the kitchen and he ate the food

Good: Kitty walked into the kitchen, and he the food

Because “he ate the

food” could stand
alone as its own
complete sentence,
It needs to be
separated with a
comma
Example 2, Rule 1
Use commas to separate independent clauses when they are
joined by coordinating conjunctions (and, but, for, or, nor, so,
yet)
NEVER! Use a comma to separate two independent clauses if
there is no conjunction present.
Bad: Mostafa ran into the room, he chased a mouse.
Good: Mostafa ran into the room, and he chased a mouse.
Rule #2
Use commas to separate words and word groups in a series of
three or more items.
When making a list, some people do not include a comma
before the final coordinating conjunction.
For example: “My dog is brown, fat and ugly.”
This sentence is grammatically incorrect
Correct way: “My dog is brown, fat, and ugly.”
This is called the oxford comma
Any questions?
