10. Welcome to the Purdue OWL This page is brought to you by the OWL at Purdue (https://owl.english.purdue.edu/). When printing this page, you must include the entire legal notice at bottom. Contributors: Dana Driscoll, Allen Brizee.  Summary: This resource offers a number of pages about comma use.  Commas: Quick Rules  The comma is a valuable, useful punctuation device because it separates the structural elements of sentences into manageable segments. The rules provided here are those found in traditional handbooks; however, in certain rhetorical contexts and for specific purposes, these rules may be broken.  The following is a short guide to get you started using commas. This resource also includes sections with more detailed rules and examples.

11.  Quick Guide to Commas  1. Use commas to separate independent clauses when they are joined by any of these seven coordinating conjunctions: and, but, for, or, nor, so, yet.  2. Use commas after introductory a) clauses, b) phrases, or c) words that come before the main clause.  3. Use a pair of commas in the middle of a sentence to set off clauses, phrases, and words that are not essential to the meaning of the sentence. Use one comma before to indicate the beginning of the pause and one at the end to indicate the end of the pause.  4. Do not use commas to set off essential elements of the sentence, such as clauses beginning with that (relative clauses). That clauses after nouns are always essential. That clauses following a verb expressing mental action are always essential.  5. Use commas to separate three or more words, phrases, or clauses written in a series.  6. Use commas to separate two or more coordinate adjectives that describe the same noun. Be sure never to add an extra comma between the final adjective and the noun itself or to use commas with non-coordinate adjectives.  7. Use a comma near the end of a sentence to separate contrasted coordinate elements or to indicate a distinct pause or shift.  8. Use commas to set off phrases at the end of the sentence that refer back to the beginning or middle of the sentence. Such phrases are free modifiers that can be placed anywhere in the sentence without causing confusion.  9. Use commas to set off all geographical names, items in dates (except the month and day), addresses (except the street number and name), and titles in names.  10. Use a comma to shift between the main discourse and a quotation.  11. Use commas wherever necessary to prevent possible confusion or misreading.

12. Semicolon (;)  Use a semicolon when you link two independent clauses with no connecting words. For example:  I am going home; I intend to stay there.  It rained heavily during the afternoon; we managed to have our picnic anyway.  They couldn't make it to the summit and back before dark; they decided to camp for the night.  You can also use a semicolon when you join two independent clauses together with one of the following conjunctive adverbs (adverbs that join independent clauses): however, moreover, therefore, consequently, otherwise, nevertheless, thus, etc. For example:  I am going home; moreover, I intend to stay there.  It rained heavily during the afternoon; however, we managed to have our picnic anyway.  They couldn't make it to the summit and back before dark; therefore, they decided to camp for the night.  For more information about compound sentence patterns, see the Purdue OWL handout on Sentence Punctuation Patterns.

13. http://www2.ivcc.edu/rambo/eng1001/commas.htm http://www2.ivcc.edu/rambo/eng1001/commas.htm Brings you to English Composition 1  The most common mistake that students make when using commas is thinking that a comma goes wherever one hears a pause in a sentence. That's not true at all, and this assumption is likely to lead to comma errors. How do you tell where commas go, then? You just need to remember a few simple rules.
