  6. Aim: Why does Junior need friends at Rearden?

  7. Commas: Linkers Linker. You can use a comma and a coordinating conjunction to link two sentences. Coordination conjunctions are FANBOYS: for, and, nor, but, or, yet, so. The comma goes in front of the coordinating conjunction. For example: • My brother went to the zoo, and he saw tigers. • I have to get to class on time, or I will get into trouble.

  8. Commas: Introducers Introducer. Use a comma after an introductory word, phrase, or clause. For example: • Yes, we will go to the park right now. • In most situations, you should err on the side of caution. • If you call home when you are going to be late, your parents will not ground you.

  9. Commas: Inserters Inserter. When words and phrases are not necessary to understanding a sentence, use commas on both sides of the inserted words. For example: • My head, unfortunately, aches terribly. • Billy, in spite of having a cold, went to the party. • Pizza, my all-time favorite food, does not taste as good when you go outside of New York. *****Be careful when using commas to insert information. If you do not need material in a sentence, put commas around it. If you need material in a sentence, do not put commas around the information.
