    I'm not expecting an answer as this is 2 years old already, but your first example is confusing me. There's a big difference in 'A,B, and C' and 'A, B and C'. In the first one you're naming 3 groups, in the second B and C belong together, and can't be seperated. Or should you use or in that case?

    Dear Adam and friends, if you can help with these: "I like apples, and pizza" correct.
    "I like apple and pizza". Correct. So, are both correct? I found the example with the comma in a ppt for beginner students :0

    Correct?
    A. Tell me: What is your name? What do you do? Are you single? Etc.
    B. Tell me: what is your name?, where do you live? , are you single? , etc.
    C. Tell me: what is your name? Where do you live?Are you single? Etc.
    In these series of questions ending with a “etc.”, are commas needed between each question and the “etc.”, or only before “etc. is needed? Etc. or etc. ?

    What if "and" isn't used and a comma separates the addition information?
    Example: Porters hop off the excavator, clutching picks and shovels.
    Example: Luca swats at the kid's grasping fingers, knocking the boy down.
    Example: Annie comes back down, seeing a light on.
    I hope you can help. Thanks!

  • @jhoannamariedemesa168
    @jhoannamariedemesa168 4 года назад

    May I respectfully ask if the use of commas in the following sentences is correct? I know that we only use comma when the subordinating conjunction begins a sentence; whereas, no comma is applied when the SC is used in the middle of a sentence. But I was told by some professors that sometimes this rule is not applicable, especially for parenthetical elements.
    1. The physical opening of schools will depend on the risk severity, pursuant to guidelines of the Department of Health.
    2. The Secretary is authorizing the holding of Saturday classes, through the conduct of. . .
    3. The learning intervention shall formally open in August, while the program duration…
    4. Marissa went to the party, though she would see her former lovers.
    5. The students decide to play computer games, when they can use their free time meaningfully.
    6. I stay positive in the course of global health crises, despite the lack of support from the government.
    Thank you very much, Sir, for sharing your knowledge.

    Commas are critical to clarification in comprehension. The classic example: "Count out one thousand two hundred and seventy. " (Count out 1,270- or count out 1,200---and then 70 separately.) The comma before "and" makes a significant difference. Technical writers especially are notorious for failing to use commas when clarifying meaning.

    Hello! Thank you so much for your videos. I have a question though. "In the past, schools encouraged boys to pursue engineering and they encouraged girls to pursue the arts" - I still can use a comma here, can't I? Or because of it being a compound I can't? Then why we used a comma in "...they must be native born, and they must speak all the country's official languages..."?

    If the reader " trust me to make everything clear", then this means that, is up to me to choose the suitable place for the commas -except for serial ones-. At the end of the day, its my ideas, and I have to express them in a way that are not misunderstood . My worry is that, too many rules to follow, would be problomatic, and wouldn't be compatible with the way I want to organize my ideas.
