Note:

Punctuation.

In writing it is very important to observe correct punctuation marks.

A full stop is put:

1)at the end of sentences;

2)in decimals (e.g. 3.5 – three point five). A comma separates:

1)homogeneous parts of the sentence if there are more than three members (e.g. I saw a house, a garden, and a car);

2)parentheses (e.g. The story, to put it mildly, is not nice);

3)Nominative Absolute Constructions (e.g. The play over, the audience left the hall);

4)appositions (e.g. Byron, one of the greatest English poets, was born in 1788);

5)interjections (e.g. Oh, you are right!);

6)coordinate clauses joined by and, but, or, nor, for, while, whereas, etc. (e.g. The speaker was disappointed, but the audience was pleased);

7)attributive clauses in complex sentences if they are commenting (e.g. The

Thames, which runs through London, is quite slow. Compare with a defining clause where no comma is needed – The river that/which runs through London is quite slow);

32

8)adverbial clauses introduced by if, when, because, though, etc. (e.g. If it is true, we are having good luck);

9)inverted clauses (e.g. Hardly had she entered, they fired questions at her);

10)in whole numbers (e.g. 25,500 – twenty five thousand five hundred).

Object clauses are not separated by commas (e.g. He asked what he should do).
