1. Re-read your Essay 1 and take out different sentences that either have or could use some modifying clauses that need commas. Follow the directions below for either all 20 points, or none at all...:
- Re-write each sentence with correct comma punctuation and post on your blog before 2:20pm on Wednesday.
- Additionally, print off your sentences so that you have a copy to hand in!
- At the end of each sentence in parentheses, write the type of comma clause is used. For instance, if you have an introductory phrase, your sentence would look like this:
- Since he was a hypochondriac, the thought of tissues made him shiver in disgust (introductory phrase)
- You must demonstrate one of each--that's nine (9) sentences!:
- Before a coordinating conjunction joining two sentences (292)
- Introductory phrase (293)
- Use with coordinate adjectives (296)
- Adjective clause (300)
- Appositive (301)
- Parenthetical expression (303)
- Absolute phrase (304)
- Words expressing contrast (304)
- To set of a quotation or a direct address (32g, p. 304-5)
