Commas usually suggest that the statement is not over and there is still something more to say. It is one of the most commonly used punctuation marks in the <strong>English language<\/strong>. However, it is one of the most inappropriately used punctuation marks. Learners of English and users rarely learn where to use a comma and how to use it. In this blog, you will go through examples of sentences using a comma, when and where to use a comma, with the help of examples and many other different aspects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-when-and-when-not-to-use-a-comma\"><span id=\"when-and-when-not-to-use-a-comma\">When and When Not to Use a Comma?<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Commas are commonly used to separate objects or different articles or in a list. Below are the various roles of a comma:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The basic role of a comma is to separate nouns (objects\/subjects) within a sentence.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A comma is used to separate phrases or basically to separate a clause and a phrase.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>It can be utilised to separate a main clause from a subordinate clause.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Moreover, a comma can be used before a <a href=\"https:\/\/leverageedu.com\/explore\/learn-english\/coordinating-conjunctions\/\"><strong>coordinating conjunction<\/strong><\/a> and after a <a href=\"https:\/\/leverageedu.com\/explore\/learn-english\/conjunctive-adverbs\/\"><strong>conjunctive adverb<\/strong><\/a> in a compound sentence.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>A comma also means a slight pause, but this pause does not mean that you can insert a comma as and when you want to. Utilize a comma only where it is required and is suitable. Now that you know where a comma can be used properly, use it wisely to make your essay look professional and readable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-examples-of-sentences-using-a-comma\"><span id=\"examples-of-sentences-using-a-comma\">Examples of Sentences Using a Comma<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Mentioned below are a few examples to showcase the different ways to use commas within your sentences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-use-of-comma-to-separate-nouns-subjects-objects\"><span id=\"use-of-comma-to-separate-nouns-subjects-objects\">Use of Comma to Separate Nouns (Subjects\/Objects)<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Amit, Rashmi, and Avika are planning a surprise party.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>We invited my sister, my parents and his boyfriend.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The delicious meal consisted of salad, pasta, and chocolate cake.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>His favourite author, Jane Austen, wrote various classic novels.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-use-of-comma-to-separate-two-phrases-a-phrase-and-a-clause\"><span id=\"use-of-comma-to-separate-two-phrases-a-phrase-and-a-clause\">Use of Comma to Separate Two Phrases \/ A Phrase and A Clause<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>&#8220;Walking through the park, he saw a group of children playing.&#8221;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>&#8220;Exhausted after the training session, she took a long nap.&#8221;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>&#8220;The house painted a bright purple, stood out on the street.&#8221;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>&#8220;The movie was amazing, however, the ending was dissatisfactory&#8221;.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-use-of-comma-to-separate-a-main-clause-from-a-subordinate-clause\"><span id=\"use-of-comma-to-separate-a-main-clause-from-a-subordinate-clause\">Use of Comma to Separate a Main Clause from a Subordinate Clause<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Because the storm was coming, she decided to head home early.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>They went out for dinner, so we did not cook anything at home.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Nobody knew where to find poppies; however, some of them offered to help us find some contacts.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>We entered the theater, when the show began, to avoid spoilers.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-exercise-on-comma\"><span id=\"exercise-on-comma\">Exercise on Comma<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Instructions: <\/strong>In the following sentences insert commas where required and rewrite the correct sentence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-background\" style=\"background:linear-gradient(135deg,rgb(238,238,238) 100%,rgb(169,184,195) 100%)\"><tbody><tr><td>1.
