Style:The Comma “ , ” A comma in writing is like a pause

inside a sentence when speaking. We use commas inside sentences. Commas separate parts of a sentence into logical elements. Commas have no meaning, but they help us to see the structure and therefore the meaning of the sentence.

Style:The Comma “ , ” Use a comma between

items in a series or list. coffee, tea, sugar, milk, eggs,

butter, salt My favorite sports are football,

rugby, swimming, boxing and golf.

Style:The Comma “ , ”

Use a comma for addresses, before the names of states or cities:

911 Avenue Mansion, Petchburi Road, Bangkok, Thailand

Los Angeles, California

Style:The Comma “ , ” When you join two clauses together with a

coordinating conjunction (such as and, but, so, and or), a comma is usually placed before the conjunction:

Style:The Comma “ , ” Use a comma after words such as for example,

and finally,…. Use a comma with dates……….

  Use a comma between the day and the year following the American style for dates:
