  8. What is a Comma? , • A comma is a punctuation mark that indicates a pause is needed in a sentence. • Commas help to clarify meaning for the reader.

  9. Clauses and Phrases A clause is a group of words that contains both a subject and a verb that complement each other. A phrase is a group of words that does not contain a subject or a verb that complement each other.

  10. Sentence Structure: Independent Clauses A complete sentence has at least two components, a subjectand a verb. The subject and verb must form a complete thought to be considered an independent clause.

  11. Sentence Structure: Compound Sentences Compound Sentence: a sentence that contains two independent clauses joined by a coordinating conjunction A conjunction joins words, phrases, and clauses together in a sentence. Conjunctions (remember with the acronym FANBOYS):

  12. Sentence Structure: Compound Sentence The comma in a compound sentence is placed before the coordinating conjunction.

  13. Sentence Structure: Compound Sentence Where would you place the comma in the following sentence?

  14. Sentence Structure: Dependent Phrases A dependent clause contains a subject and verb, but the clause cannot stand independently. Dependent clauses can often be identified by the use of dependent clause markers:

  15. Sentence Structure: Dependent Phrases Dependent phrases and clauses help to clarify and add detail to an independent clause. Dependent clauses may appear at the beginning, middle, or end of a sentence.

  16. Sentence Structure: Introductory Clauses When a dependent clause is placed at the beginning of a sentence, place a comma between the independent clause and the dependent clause.

  17. Introductory Clause Where would you place the comma in the following example?

  18. Dependent Clauses When a dependent clause is located after an independent clause, do not place a comma between the two.

  19. Essential Phrases and Clauses An essential clause or phrase is used to modify a noun. It adds information that is critical to the meaning of the sentence. Essential clauses are not set off by commas.

  20. Essential Phrases and Clauses The word “that” is almost always an indicator of an essential phrase or clause.

  21. Non-essential Phrases and Clauses A nonessential clause or phrase adds extra information to a sentence. This information can be eliminated from the sentence without influencing the meaning of the sentence. Always place commas around nonessential phrases and clauses.

  22. Non-essential Phrases and Clauses Use commas to set off additional information:

  23. Comma Practice • Would you place commas in the following sentences? If so, where? • I am planning a trip to Paris which is one of the greatest cities in the world. • The place that I would most like to see is the Eiffel Tower. • Pierre who is one of my business contacts will meet me at the airport.

  24. Sentence Structure: Commas in a Series Place commas in a sentence to divide items in a list. The commas will help the reader to avoid confusion. The comma before the conjunction is generally required, but it can be omitted if there is no possibility of confusion.

  25. The Oxford Comma • “The 'Oxford comma' is an optional comma before the word 'and' at the end of a list: We sell books, videos, and magazines. It's known as the Oxford comma because it was traditionally used by printers, readers, and editors at Oxford University Press” (Oxford Dictionary).

  26. Sentence Structure: Commas in a Series • Consider the difference in the following: • Last month, Alex dated Mary Ann Lee and Kim. • Last month, Alex dated Mary, Ann, Lee, and Kim. • Last month, Alex dated Mary Ann, Lee, and Kim. • How many women did Alex date?

  27. Sentence Structure: Commas in a Series • Commas should be placed in series of words, phrases, or clauses. • Place commas in the following sentences: • Martina brushed her hair put on her pajamas and went to bed. • She fell asleep and she dreamed that she was a princess who kissed a frog and she rescued her prince.

  28. Commas with Adjectives • Use commas to separate adjectives that provide an equal description of a noun. The test: • Can you put “and” between the adjectives? • Can they be described in reverse order? • If yes, use a comma.

  29. Commas and Addressing • Use commas to show addressee of information to separate intention of sentence. Ask: • Does the person to whom I’m speaking belong with the rest of the sentence? • Am I addressing someone in particular with an idea, reference, or interjection? • EX: I’m starving Chris! VS I’m starving, Chris!

  30. A Common Error: The Comma Splice A comma splice is an error in which two independent clauses are joined by a comma.

  31. To Correct a Comma Splice • Insert a conjunction between the two independent clauses • Start a new sentence • Insert a semi-colon between the two independent clauses

  32. To Correct a Comma Splice • How would you correct the following? • This semester I am taking calculus physics and economics. • Calculus is my best subject, I am certain I will get an A. • Although I am very busy, I still find time to have fun. • Last weekend my brother visited me and we went to a football game a party and a rock concert.
