| How we use THE COMMA-PARENTHETICAL? | We use this types of commas to set off nonessential expressions, words, phares, and clauses that are not necessary for the meaning or the structural completeness of the sentence. If the expression occurs at the end of the sentence we use only one comma. EXAMPLE: Please let us know, Mr. Lee, when you are arriving. |
| How we use THE COMMA-APPOSITON? | We should be set off by commas a word, phrase, or clause that to identifies or explains other terms. If the opposition occurs at the end of a sentence, only one comma is necessary. EXAMPLE: My boss, Mr. Frank Smith, is on a business trip. |
| How we use THE COMMA-SERIES? | We use this types of commas, when the last member of a series of three or more items is preceded by and or or, We should place a comma before the conjunction, as well as between the other items. EXAMPLE: I need a secretary to answer the phone, to type letters, and to greet callers. |
| How we use THE COMMA-INTRODUCTORY CLAUSE? | We use this types of commas when an introductory clause followed by a main clause is separated from the main clause by a comma. An introductory clause is often introduced by words such as if, as, when, though, although, because, and others. EXAMPLE: As you know, you have not paid your telephone bill. |
| How we use THE COMMA-CONJUNCTION? | This comma is used to separate two independent clauses that are joined by one of these conjunctions: and, but, or, for, nor. An independent clause is one that has a subject and a predicate and that could stand alone as a complete sentence. EXAMPLE: There are 25 students in my class, but only 15 passed the test. The first independent clause is: There are 25 students in my class. And the second independent clause is: Only 15 passed the test. |
| How we use THE COMMA-AND OMITTED? | We should separated by commas two or more adjectives when they modify the same noun. EXAMPLE: We are enclosing a stamped, addressed envelope. |
| How we use THE SEMICOLON? | We use a semicolon, not a comma when a conjunction is not used to join two independent clauses. Leave one blank space after the semicolon. EXAMPLE: There are 25 students in my class; only 15 passed the test. |
| How we use the semicolon IN A SERIES? | We Use a semicolon to separate items in a series if any of the items already contain commas. EXAMPLE: Our salesman will visit your stores in Santa Marta, Magdalena; Barranquilla, Atlántico; and Maicao, Guajira. |
| How we use THE COLON? | We use a colon between two independent clauses when the second clause explains or illustrates the first clause and there is no coordinating conjunction linking the two clauses. Leave two spaces after the colon. EXAMPLE: I like to go to Santa Marta in December: it reminds me of my childhood. |
| How we use the colon BEFORE LISTS AND ENUMERATION? | We should place a colon before such expressions as “for example”, “namely”, and “that is” when they introduce words, phrases or a series of clauses anticipated earlier in the sentence. Place a colon if items in a series are listed on a separate line. EXAMPLE: The set of china includes: - 12 dinner plates - 12 salad plates - 12 cups and saucers |
