Where to Use Commas Properly Part 2 for All Classes up to B.A. B.Sc, B.Com

1- Comma separates items in a series:    All easy EXAMPLES


 -  My little daughter loves banana, grapes, apples, guava and water melon in fruits. You see "in fruits" is showing a specific category and from that one is making a list.
-  In the course of Eng Literature 1984, Tempest, Twelfth Night, Doctor Faustus, Hamlet and Tess by      Hardy  are available.

2- Comma offsets (equals) appositives (relevant/suitable/fit.)


     An appositive is a noun or a pronoun (often with modifiers) that is beside another noun or pronoun, with the purpose of explaining or modifying it.
-  My brother's iPhone, a blue 3Gs, was stolen yesterday. (A blue 3Gs is the appositive, while iPhone     is the noun the appositive describes.)

3 - Comma after a dependent clause: 



     Use a comma to separate the dependent clause from the independent clause.
  - The game was over, but my brother refused to leave the PC.

4-  Comma is placed before any coordinating conjunction:


      Commas are often used in sentences joined by a conjunction, like;
     and, but, or, nor, so or for.
   - He took IT three times, and he finally passed.
   - AlKaram's Lawn was on sale, so she bought the best prints at cheap prices.

5- Comma is placed after introductory adverbs:


     First understand what are introductory adverbs:
      Introductory Adverbs:
                                                Tomorrow I shall go there.
                                                Therefore I left the job.
                                                Thus they felt the hidden love between them.
     The words in blue color are adverbs serving as the subject by supporting it. They add more force.
 In two particular cases, those of sentence adverbs and conjunctive adverbs, a comma usually does follow the introductory adverb.
    We typically don’t use commas to separate single-word adverbs from the words (verb, adjective, or adverb) they modify. (List of introductory adverbs will be provided in another blog of similar list.)

6- Comma separates saying or quotation from the rest of a sentence:

This is very well known among students as Direct & Indirect speech.
 To mark off a direct quotation from the rest of the sentence; as,
    1-"Exactly so," said Alice.
    2- He said to his disciples, "Watch and pray."
    3- "Go then," said the ant, "and dance winter away."

7- Comma is generally used right after "Yes" /  "No."

   When a sentence begins with the words yes, no, along with a sentence, use a comma. examples:
 Yes, today is your birthday!
 No, it's not my favorite food.

Now we are going to discuss , minutely   The great https://en.oxforddictionaries.com/punctuation/comma says,  " A comma marks a slight break between different parts of a sentence. Used properly, commas make the meaning of sentences clear by grouping and separating words, phrases, and clauses. Many people are  uncertain  about the use of commas, though, and often  sprinkle  them throughout their writing without knowing the basic rules." So t he Comma represents the shortest pause.
