Leo Topic assignment: comma

I chose comma as a topic to write about in this blog because many students and I sometime forget to put the comma or do not know where the comma should be in the sentence. It happens to everyone sometime, so today I am going to talk about this subject.

Now I would like to give some interesting information about using commas:

1.     Use a comma to set off the elements of a series (three or more things) including the last two. For example: My favorite uses of the Internet are sending e-mail, surfing the web, and using chat rooms.

2.     Use a comma and a coordinating conjunction (and, but, or, nor, for, yet, so) to separate two ideas. For example: One of our teachers gave us a lot of homework for next week, but he change his mind and move the due date.

d   Finally, there are a lot of rules for using commas. Using commas in any papers are really important because sometime when the reader read papers, he or she get confused and misunderstand the writer. Actually, all the time I have mistakes of using commas when I write papers.
