- Comma
- The comma is a punctuation mark. It is used to separate words, phrases, and clauses.
Here are some rules about using commas. In a date, the comma goes after the day (number).
Example: The twins were born on April 6, 2010.
In place, the comma goes between the name of a city and a state/country.
Example: The Palace of Winds is in Rajasthan, India.
When there are three or more items in a list, each item is separated with a comma.
Example: Dolly wanted a train, a tiara, and a treasure box for her birthday.
A comma is also used in the greeting and closing of a letter.
Examples in greetings:
Dear Ms. Thimble,
Dear Uncle Heath,
Examples in closings:
Love,
Thank you,
