Comma
Commas are used to keep words and ideas from running together. They tell your reader where to pause, which makes your writing easier to read.
Between Items in a Series |
Place commas between words, phrases, or clauses in a series. (A series is three items or more in a row.) I know someone who likes pepperoni, onions, and olives on her pizza. (words) During the summer I read mysteries, ride my bike, and play basketball. (phrases) |
In Dates and Addresses |
Use commas to separate items in addresses and dates. We had a huge family reunion on July 4, 2024, at Montrose Beach. Mia’s new address is 3344 South First Street, Atlanta, GA 30200. |
