PUNCTUATION IN ENGLISH: SOME TRICKIEST THINGS. PART 1
Posted on September 2, 2018 at 10:35 AM |
For native speakers of some languages, the most challenging aspect of English is how to use COMMAS correctly. Here, I will tell you about the most specific cases.
1. Never use a comma before THAT. It does not matter what type of THAT it is. Just remember not to use a comma before any THAT.
e.g.: These measures have been implemented so that the crime rate could go down.
I know the author that has written such a wonderful book.
2. Never use a comma in the middle of a complex sentence before subordinate clauses of TIME, CONDITION, REASON/CAUSE (it means that you should not use a comma before BECAUSE, AS, SINCE, IF, UNLESS, AS SOON AS, ONCE, WHILE, BEFORE, AFTER, etc.)
e.g.: It was permitted because it improved the results.
I will tell him about it when he comes home.
Please contact me if you have any questions.
*However, if you start your sentence with a subordinate clause of TIME, CONDITION or REASON/CAUSE (which means that you will start it with the conjuctions mentioned above), use a comma after it and before the main clause. To make it easier, let us just reverse the examples above:
e.g. Because it improved the results, it was permitted.
When he comes home, I will tell him about it.
If you have any questions, please contact me.
3. When you use ADVERBIALS of manner, time, place, addition and contrast in the beginning of a sentence, separate them with a comma.
e.g. Yesterday, they presented the plan.
All of a sudden, somebody opened the door.
Moreover, her first attempt failed.
Quickly, they finalised their project.
Nevertheless, the measures were taken last year in order to prevent the spread of the disease.
