What Is The Purpose And Effect Of Comma?
The comma is a punctuation mark that has several important purposes and effects in written English. Here are a few:
Separate items in a list – They are used to separate items in a list to make it clear where one item ends and the next one begins. For example, “I love apples, bananas, and grapes.”
Join independent clauses – Commas, often along with a coordinating conjunction (like ‘and’, ‘but’, ‘or’, ‘so’), can join two independent sentences together. For example, “I wanted to go to the park, but it was raining.”
Separate introductory elements – We use commas to separate introductory words or phrases from the main part of the sentence. For example, “After school, we went to the playground.”
Set off nonessential information – If a sentence has extra information that can be removed without changing its main meaning, we use commas to set off that information. For example, “My brother, who is two years older than me, is a doctor.”
Indicate direct address – Commas are used to separate the name of a person being directly addressed. For example, “Could you help me with this, John?”
