Commas

Comma Usage Basics (Remember, LIES) Use commas when: L-Lists- Making lists of 3 or more things. (You should all sit down, begin your warm-up, and then wait quietly for the rest of the class to be ready) I-Introduction-Use a comma after any word or group of words that introduces the subject of the sentence. (Known for his bad attitude, James was not elected.) E-Extra Information- When a sentence has extra information, you should set it aside using commas. (My dad, a great man, once told me to always listen to my elders.) S-Sentences that use FANBOYS-Any two complete sentences (independent clauses) that are divided with a FANBOY (For, And, Nor, But, Or, Yet) should use commas before the FANBOY. (My teacher called, but my mom was out.) Also, you can use a comma to separate two adjectives when the word and can be inserted between them. (She is a kind, patient woman.)

For Lists and Extra information, use the following slide to help you create at least 10 sentences. On the following slide are four different pictures. Using one of theses pictures, create 10 sentences to describe the photo Today we will be focusing on “L” and “E”

Today we will be focusing on “I” and “S” At the front of the room (and a little around the room) are sheets of paper. On these pieces of paper there are parts of a sentence or a comma. Using these sheets of paper we want you to create a sentence (become the sentence). After each round we will judge. If your sentence does not make sense you will be asked to go back to your seat and those sheets of paper will be taken away. If every group has a perfect sentence we will ask the group that formed and raised their hand last to sit down. The last group standing will receive a prize.
