The Comma

Andres Ramos Cevallos
Andres Ramos Cevallos

The document discusses the four basic types of commas: 1) Commas to separate items in a series. 2) Commas in compound sentences. 3) Commas to set off introductory word groups. 4) Commas to set off nonessential modifiers. It provides examples for each type of comma use, including using commas between items in a list, joining independent clauses in compound sentences, setting off introductory phrases, and offsetting nonessential modifiers that can be removed without changing the core meaning of a sentence. The document emphasizes that understanding these four basic uses of commas is key to properly using commas in writing.
