3. Commas A brief but not complete overview Materials borrowed from: http://grammar.ccc.commnet.edu/grammar/commas.htm

4. Use a comma to separate the elements in a series “He hit the ball, dropped the bat, and ran to first base." Use a comma + a little conjunction (and, but, for, nor, yet, or, so) to connect two independent clauses He hit the ball well, but he ran toward third base.

5. Use a comma to set off introductory elements – “Running toward third base, he suddenly realized how stupid he looked.” Use a comma to set off parenthetical elements – "The Founders Bridge, which spans the Connecticut River, is falling down."

6. Use a comma to set off quoted elements – Summing up this argument, Peter Coveney writes, "The purpose and strength of the romantic image of the child had been above all to establish a relation between childhood and adult consciousness." Use commas to set off phrases that express contrast – Some say the world will end in ice, not fire.

7. Use a comma to avoid confusion. – For most the year is already finished. – For most, the year is already finished. Never use only one comma between a subject and its verb – "Believing completely and positively in oneself is essential for success." [Although readers might pause after the word "oneself," there is no reason to put a comma there. ]

8. Typographical Reasons – Hartford, Connecticut – 10,000 Use commas with caution NOT willy-nilly
