60-second Quick Read

  • Students distinguish list commas, introductory dependent-clause commas, supplementary information and ambiguity-reducing punctuation, while avoiding comma splices.
  • Example: A comma signals structure, not every spoken pause. Conventions vary slightly, but the grammatical relationship should remain clear.
  • Common trap: Comma placed at every pause. Use grammar and meaning.
