Key Notes :
β¨ Commas with Direct Addresses, Introductory Words, and Interjections β¨
Commas with Direct Addresses π©βπ«π¨βπ |
When you speak directly to someone, use a comma to separate the name (or title) from the rest of the sentence.
π Examples:
- Riya, can you pass the pencil? βοΈ
- Thank you, Mom. β€οΈ
- Friends, letβs work together! π€
π Tip: Without the comma, the sentence can sound confusing!
Commas with Introductory Words π |
Use a comma after a word or phrase that comes at the beginning of a sentence.
π Examples:
- Yes, I finished my homework. π
- Well, that was an exciting game! π
- After school, we went to the park. π³
π Tip: The comma shows a little pause before the main idea.
Commas with Interjections π²π |
Interjections are short words that show strong feelings (surprise, joy, sadness).
Place a comma after the interjection if the feeling is not too strong.
π Examples:
- Oh, I didnβt see you there! π
- Wow, thatβs amazing! π
- Hey, donβt forget your bag. π
π Tip: If the feeling is very strong, you can use an exclamation mark (!) instead of a comma.
