Practice Diagrams Ms. Kizlyk - English 3B Commas: Notes & Worksheets Part 1: Commas in Sentence Parts Commas with Introductory Elements Use a comma after mild interjections or introductory words such as oh, yes, no, and well. Yes, I admit that I love to watch the Daytona 500. Sentence:_________________________________________________________________. Use a comma after an introductory prepositional phrase that contains additional prepositional phrases. In the middle of the race, the lead car blew out a tire. Sentence:_________________________________________________________________. If you just have one prepositional phrase, make sure that it has at least four words for it to need a comma after it. During the long midnight storm, the baby continually cried. Sentence:_________________________________________________________________. Use a comma after an introductory adverb such as accordingly, also, consequently, finally, indeed, meanwhile, surprisingly, and therefore. Unfortunately, that car is out of the race. Sentence:_________________________________________________________________. Use a comma after an introductory adverbial clause (these are a type of dependent clause and usually describe the verb in the sentence). After the pace car exits the track, drivers may reach speeds of over 200 mph. Sentence:_________________________________________________________________. Ms. Kizlyk - English 3B Use a comma after an infinitive (begins with the word “to” followed by a verb) or participial phrase (looks like a verb but acts as an adjective) that serves as an introductory element. INFINITIVE PHRASE To cover their expenses, racing teams solicit sponsors. Sentence:_________________________________________________________________. PARTICIPIAL PHRASE Smiling politely, the driver accepted a $200,000 check. Sentence:_________________________________________________________________. Commas with Interrupters Use commas to set off nouns of direct address. (A noun of direct address is the word naming the person or persons spoken to.) Marisa, have you ever worked as part of a pit crew? Sentence:_________________________________________________________________. Use commas to set off parenthetical expressions, such as however, therefore, for example, I suppose, moreoever, and by the way. These can be anywhere in the sentence. By the way, your favorite driver will participate in the next heat. Sentence:_________________________________________________________________. Sentence:_________________________________________________________________. Use a comma to separate a question tagged onto the end of a sentence. That’s a fairly common way of speaking, isn’t it? Sentence:_________________________________________________________________. Ms. Kizlyk - English 3B Commas with Nonessential Clauses and Phrases Use commas to set off nonessential clauses and nonessential participial phrases. NONESSENTIAL CLAUSE The pit crew manager, who also serves as the chief engineer, advised the driver of the car’s condition. Sentence:_________________________________________________________________. _________________________________________________________________. NONESSENTIAL PARTICIPIAL PHRASE The team, working hard for its driver’s success, has won several races this year. Sentence:_________________________________________________________________. _________________________________________________________________. ESSENTIAL CLAUSE The woman who won last year will compete today. (This is essential because it is giving us information that identifies which woman we are talking about – no comma needed). Sentence:_________________________________________________________________. _________________________________________________________________. Use commas to set off nonessential appositives and appositive phrases. APPOSITIVE Eddie Cheever’s racing team, Team Cheever, has won the Indy 500. Sentence:_________________________________________________________________. _________________________________________________________________. APPOSITIVE PHRASE Professional auto racing, often a very dangerous sport, requires extensive training and well-maintained equipment. Sentence:_________________________________________________________________. _________________________________________________________________. Ms. Kizlyk - English 3B ESSENTIAL APPOSITIVE The main character in the book The Great Gatsby is actually Nick. (This is essential because it is giving us information that identifies which book we are talking about – no comma needed). Sentence:_________________________________________________________________. _________________________________________________________________. Commas with Compound Sentences Use a comma before the conjunction that joins the two independent clauses of a compound sentence. Ted had the best opening lap, but he lost the race. Sentence:_________________________________________________________________. Make sure you’re punctuating a compound sentence, not a simple sentence with a compound predicate. No commas are needed then. Ted had the best opening lap but lost the race. Sentence:_________________________________________________________________. Commas with Series or Lists In a series of three or more items, use a comma after each item except for the last one. Racetracks can have dirt, asphalt, or concrete surfaces. Sentence:_________________________________________________________________. Use a comma between two or more adjectives of equal rank that modify the same noun. A skilled, athletic pit crew should be able to get a driver back on the racetrack in less than 20 seconds. Sentence:_________________________________________________________________. Do not use a comma if one adjective in a series modifies another. The driver in the olive green car is winning. Sentence:_________________________________________________________________. Ms. Kizlyk - English 3B Exercise #1: Determining Where Commas Go in Sentences. Directions: For each of the following sentences, there are 19 commas missing. (1) First, insert the missing commas and circle the commas. (2) Second, you need to give the reason why the comma needs to be inserted into the sentence. Look at the following two examples. Example #1: Dr. Charles Drew , who has worked as a surgeon for twenty years , developed new ways of storing blood. Reason:_non-essential clause_____________________________________________ Example #2: I am going to take English , science , social studies , algebra , and Spanish. Reason:_Items in a series________________________________________________ 1) Your first car may not be a brand-new model but you don’t have to settle for a lemon either. Reason:_____________________________________________________________ 2) Affordable reliable used cars do exist. Reason:_____________________________________________________________ 3) To help you get the most for your money here is some time-tested advice. Reason:_____________________________________________________________ 4) Always bring along a responsible adult when you check out any car new or old you’d like to purchase. Reason:_____________________________________________________________ 5) If possible, have a used car checked out by an experienced dependable mechanic.

  • An Outcast of the Islands
    An Outcast of the Islands An Outcast of the Islands An Outcast of the Islands by Joseph Conrad Pues el delito mayor Del hombre es haber nacito CALDERON TO EDWARD LANCELOT SANDERSON AUTHOR'S NOTE "An Outcast of the Islands" is my second novel in the absolute sense of the word; second in conception, second in execution, second as it were in its essence. There was no hesitation, half-formed plan, vague idea, or the vaguest reverie of anything else between it and "Almayer's Folly." The only doubt I suffered page 1 / 458 from, after the publication of "Almayer's Folly," was whether I should write another line for print. Those days, now grown so dim, had their poignant moments. Neither in my mind nor in my heart had I then given up the sea. In truth I was clinging to it desperately, all the more desperately because, against my will, I could not help feeling that there was something changed in my relation to it. "Almayer's Folly," had been finished and done with. The mood itself was gone. But it had left the memory of an experience that, both in thought and emotion was unconnected with the sea, and I suppose that part of my moral being which is rooted in consistency was badly shaken. I was a victim of contrary stresses which produced a state of immobility. I gave myself up to indolence. Since it was impossible for me to face both ways I had elected to face nothing. The discovery of new values in life is a very chaotic experience; there is a tremendous amount of jostling and confusion and a momentary feeling of darkness.

  • Introductions to Heritage Assets: Ships and Boats: 1840 to 1950
    Ships and Boats: 1840-1950 Introductions to Heritage Assets Summary Historic England’s Introductions to Heritage Assets (IHAs) are accessible, authoritative, illustrated summaries of what we know about specific types of archaeological site, building, landscape or marine asset. Typically they deal with subjects which lack such a summary. This can either be where the literature is dauntingly voluminous, or alternatively where little has been written. Most often it is the latter, and many IHAs bring understanding of site or building types which are neglected or little understood. Many of these are what might be thought of as ‘new heritage’, that is they date from after the Second World War. This overview looks at ships and boats built after 1840. Principally drawing on archaeological, technological and historical sources, it describes vessels used on English inland and coastal waters and in the open sea. The evidence of wrecks and abandoned vessels is drawn on, as well as extant vessels. Also included is the early development of submarines. This guidance note has been written by Mark Dunkley and edited by Paul Stamper. It is one is of several guidance documents that can be accessed at HistoricEngland.org.uk/listing/selection-criteria/listing-selection/ihas-buildings/ First published by English Heritage September 2012.

IN PIAM MEMORIAM PATRIS DILECTISSIMI QVI ME AD MARIS NAVIVMQVE STVDIVM PRIMVS EXCITAVIT PREFACE. history of sailing ships has been written primarily for the THISgeneral reader, in the hope that the sons and daughters of a naval nation, and of an Empire that stretches beyond the seas, may find therein a record of some interest and assistance in enlarging and systematising their ideas on the subject, especially as regards the ships of earlier centuries. It is not necessary to look— far—no further than the poster-designs on advertisement-hoardings to observe the errors into which our artists of to-day are liable to fall owing to lack of historical knowledge in this subject; and to put (for instance) triangular headsails with a rectangular sail on the " "bonaventure mizzen-mast of an early sixteenth-century ship, is an inaccuracy scarcely to be pardoned. Quite recently one of the chief librarians in one of our biggest national treasure-houses informed me that when an artist, who had been commissioned to illustrate a certain work, came to him for guidance as to the ships of a recent period, he was at a loss where to vii PREFACE lay his hands on a book which should show him what he wished to know by picture and description.
