  7. AP Bellwork 09/28/11Copy the following rules about commas and place them in the Grammar section of your notebook. COMMAS Commas are necessary for clear expression of ideas. Rule 1: Use commas to separate items in a series. (A) If all items in a series are joined by and or or (nor), you should not use commas to separate them. (B) Independent clauses in a series are usually separated by semicolons. Short independent clauses, however, may be separated by commas.

  8. AP Bellwork 09/28/11 Rule 1: Use commas to separate items in a series. WORDS IN A SERIES The counselor distributed baseballs, bats, volleyballs, tennis rackets, and bandages to the campers. [nouns] The dog growled, snarled, and leaped at the intruder. [verbs]

  9. AP Bellwork 09/28/11 Rule 1: Use commas to separate items in a series. PHRASES IN A SERIES We have a government of the people, by the people, and for the people. SUBORDINATE CLAUSES IN A SERIES I know I will pass the test if I take good notes, if I study hard, and if I get a good night’s sleep.

  10. AP Bellwork 09/28/11 NOTE: When the last two items in a series are joined by and, you may omit the comma before the and if the comma is not necessary to make the meaning clear. CLEAR The entertainers sang, danced and juggled. UNCLEAR John, Sue and Many went fishing. [Not clear with comma omitted. Is John part of the series, or is he being addressed?] CLEAR John, Sue and Mary went fishing.

  11. AP Bellwork 09/28/11 • If all items in a series are joined by and or or (nor), you should not use commas to separate them. EXAMPLES We ran and walked and even limped to the finish line. A volunteer addresses envelopes or answers phones or files correspondence.

  12. AP Bellwork 09/28/11 (B) Independent clauses in a series are usually separated by semicolons. Short independent clauses, however, may be separated by commas. EXAMPLES For physical fitness we swam twenty-five laps in the pool; we jogged four miles around the lake; and we exercised with workout equipment in Pam’s basement. For physical fitness we swam, we jogged, and we exercised.

  13. AP Bellwork 09/29/11Copy the following rules about commas and place them in the Grammar section of your notebook. COMMAS Rule 2: Use commas to separate two or more adjectives preceding a noun. EXAMPLE The accident was a frightening, horrible sight.

  14. AP Bellwork 09/29/11 When the last adjective bore the noun is thought of as part of the noun, the comma before the adjective is omitted. EXAMPLE The new elementary school will be completed in 2016.

  15. AP Bellwork 09/29/11 To determine whether it is right to put commas between two adjectives in a series of adjectives modifying a noun, substitute the word and for the doubtful comma. If the and sounds wrong, then you don’t need a comma. PROBLEM I cautiously raised my broken right hand in response. [Comma before right?] USE AND I cautiously raised my broken and right hand in response. [Obviously wrong!] SOLUTION I cautiously raised my broken right hand in response. [No comma.]

  16. AP Bellwork 09/30/11 Please pick up the handout entitled, “Commas Exercise One” from the bookcase. Complete on your own.

  17. AP Bellwork 10/03/11Copy the following rule(s) about commas and place them in the Grammar section of your notebook. Rule 3: Use a comma before and, but, or, nor, for, so and yet when they join independent clauses. EXAMPLES: Patrick brought the hot dogs and buns, and Cindy brought the potato salad. We were there on time, but Jeff and Maria arrived late.

  18. AP Bellwork10/03/11 NOTE: Independent clauses joined by and, but, or, or nor need not be separated by a comma when they are very short. If the clauses are joined by the conjunctions yet, so, or for, they must be separated by a comma. EXAMPLESThe poodle tensed and the German shepherd growled. [Clauses are too short to require commas.] We sprayed with insecticide, yet the bugs still found us. [Clauses are short but are separated by the conjunction yet. Therefore, a comma is required.]

  19. AP Bellwork 10/04/11 • Pick up the handout from the bookcase and complete. Fold in half, upon completion.

  20. AP Bellwork 10/05/11Copy the following rule(s) about commas and place them in the Grammar section of your notebook. Rule 4: Use commas to set off nonessential clauses and nonessential participial phrases. NONESSENTIAL CLAUSE: A subordinate clause (dependent clause that does not express a complete thought and cannot stand by itself) that is not essential to the meaning of the sentence. NONESSENTIAL PARTICIPIAL PHRASE: A PARTICIPLE is a verb form that can be used as an adjective. PRESENT PARTICIPLES consist of the plain form of the verb plus –ing. PAST PARTICIPLE consist of the plain verb form of the verb plus –d or –ed. A few are formed irregularly. A PARTICIPIAL PHRASE consists of a participial and its related words, such as modifiers and complements, all of which act together as an adjective.

  21. AP Bellwork10/05/11 Nonessential clauses serve only to add some extra information or to explain something further; they could be omitted without altering the fundamental meaning of the sentence. An essential clause , on the other hand, is one that cannot be omitted without changing the meaning of the sentence. NONESSENTIALPeter Lincoln, who works with my father, bought a new Corvette yesterday. Since you know without the clause who it was that bought a new Corvette yesterday, the clause is not necessary to identify Peter Lincoln; it merely adds information about him. It is a nonessential clauses and should be set off by commas. NOTE: Most adjective clauses that modify PROPER nouns are nonessential and require commas.

  22. AP Bellwork10/05/11 ESSENTIALAll the books that are damaged go in these boxes. The clause that are damaged is essential because it tells which books go in the boxes. Omitting the clause would change the meaning of the sentence into something absurd. Since the clause is an integral, or essential, part of the sentence , it is not set off by commas. NOTE: Adjective clauses introduced by that are almost always essential. EXAMPLES The friend whom I invited to the beach could not come. [essential] Kelly, whom I invited to the beach, could not come. [nonessential] The U.S. President who enjoyed turkey hash on waffles for breakfast was Andrew Jackson. [essential] Andrew Jackson, who was a U.S. President, enjoyed turkey hash on waffles for breakfast. [nonessential] The meal that I like the bestis spaghetti. [ essential] Spaghetti, which I like best, is our meal tonight. [nonessential]

  23. AP Bellwork10/05/11 At times the writer of a sentence is the only one who knows whether a clause is nonessential (commas) or essential (no commas). To make the meaning clear, the writer will either use commas to enclose the clause of abstain from their issue. NONESSENTIALMy sister, who attends Duke University, sent me a college sweatshirt. [The clause is not needed to identify this sister. Since it is nonessential, it requires commas.] ESSENTIAL My sister who attends Duke University sent me a college sweatshirt. [The writer knows he or she has more than one sister. The clause is necessary to tell which sister he or she is talking about. It should not be set off by commas.]

  24. AP Bellwork10/05/11 The same principles govern participial phrases. Recall the two kinds of participles: present participles ending in –ing and past participles usually ending in –ed. When a participial phrase is nonessential, the phrase is set off by commas. When it is essential, no commas are used. NONESSENTIALEsther, running at a slow and leisurely pace, easily finished the marathon. ESSENTIAL The woman running at a slow, leisurely pace easily finished the marathon. NONESSENTIAL Vicky’s silk-screen, wrapped carefully inside a cardboard box, arrived today. ESSENTIAL The silk-screen wrapped carefully inside a cardboard box was not damaged.
