Research Paper Rough Draft 1 Commas & Semicolons
Materials Needed • Research Paper Rough Draft 1 • Double-spaced • 500-750 words • A red pen
Step 1 • Circle all of the subjects. • Grouped subjects count as one.
Comma Rule 1 & Semicolon Rule 1 • If there is more than one circle in a sentence, separate the clauses correctly with a comma or semicolon.
Comma Splice • If there is more than one circle in a sentence and the clauses are separated with a comma and no conjunction, then label the comma with “cs” for comma splice.
Comma Rule 2 • If the sentence is not starting with a circled word(s), then the sentence is starting with an introductory word, phrase, or clause. Place the comma in the appropriate place. Be careful of the author’s useless words.
