In LA class on Monday, we learned six different kinds of comma commandments. I'll be giving the definition of the type of the sentence with an example after. The 1st one is to separate items in a series with the use of conjunction; Narit, Linda, and Aviral all did their homework. 2nd one is to set off introductory material; Noily, the squirrel ran across the roof of the house. 3rd one is - On both sides of intterupters (an interrupter is a phrase that adds information to the sentence but isn't necessary to complete th thought). 4th one is - Between two complete thoughts joined by a conjunction. 5th, with direct quotations; "If you don't have anything nice to say," Kaori said, "I'm going to kill you". Lastly, with everyday material like dates, addresses, numbers etc; People say the world will end in 2012.
These type of using comma splitting the sentences are very useful, and you can also see in everyday life or even when you're talking to your friend, your family etc. It is more logical, so Mr.Brian Byoce let us use Social studies, and Biology textbooks to find these kinds of sentences, and yes, we can see it everywhere in the textbook with these type of comma commandments. These are the sentences I found in Biology textbook. 1st one; Among those groups of organisms that survive today are plant like red, green and brown algae. 2nd one; Oparin, together with the American scientist Harold Urey, and other scientists also proposed that the early atmosphere lacked oxygen. 3rd, Humans with more than two copies of a chromosome, a condition called trisomy, will not develop properly. 4th, Both enable flight, but the structures of the two kinds of wings different. 5th, Mendel said, "Many people thought offsprings were a blend of the traits of their parents". Last one, In 1986, a new class of echinoderm was discovered strange disk-shaped little animals called sea daises.
