DATA

: I randomly selected twenty Hero Journey Narrative Essays and counted the number of comma mistakes on the first two pages. 235.

DATA

: That is 11.75 comma mistakes per essay. That is 5.88 comma mistakes per page. That’s minus 5.88 points per essay.

DATA

: Stretch that out over your high school English career and the average students will get deducted 52.88 total points because of comma mistakes. That is equal to one entire essay.

INFERENCE

: We better start with commas. Slide2

10 Comma RulesSlide3

. FANBOYS Rule

only

if the FANBOYS is combining two sentences/clauses.

EXAMPLE

: I like pizza, but he doesn’t.

BAD EXAMPLE

: I like apples, and pizza.

MY EXAMPLE

3. Complex Rule

RULE: If a sentence starts with a subordinate conjunction (ABBI SAW A WUWU), place a comma between the two sentences/clauses.

I studied, I got an “A.”

BAD EXAMPLE

RULE: Place commas between items in a list of three or more things.

. Introduction Rule

RULE: Put a comma after words, phrases, or clauses that come before a main clause in a sentence. This is similar to RULE # 3.

In 1998, Joey was born.

MY EXAMPLES

. Non-Essential Rule

RULE: Any information in the middle of a sentence that is

not important

to the understanding of the sentence needs

two commas

– one before the non-essential phrase and one after.

EXAMPLE

or

D.A.N. Rule

RULE:

Use commas when writing dates, addresses, and titles in names.

REMEMBER

A comma is placed

after

the date, address, or name title too

.

He said, “I love you.”

The girl yelled, “Stop” and ran towards the car.

. Modifier Rule

RULE: Use a comma to separate a free modifier from the main sentence.

REMEMBER

ing

verb.
