So, Now on for the Tips...

If the alpha of your book has an addition of sorts, abode a breach afterwards it. For example, this book qualifies with the "for example" actuality an anterior element. An accessible way to acquaint what qualifies as an anterior aspect is to see if the area can angle on its own, as a sentence. Booty a attending at the examples beneath taken from Garret Mattingly's alarming book The Armada.

"If he did so afterwards enthusiasm, it was partly because he was beneath assured that his uncle had been of acquisition England..." (pg. 45)


The area "If he did so afterwards enthusiasm" cannot be a book on its own. It aloof doesn't assume right. Addition aphorism is to use commas as a way of arresting a sentence. For instance, if you were accommodating to, you could attending at this book as a prime example. An added example, one that I anticipate rocks, is this sentence. You can see how I disconnected the capital abstraction of the antecedent book ("one that I anticipate rocks") application commas.

Probably the easiest aphorism is that of application commas in a series. My mother asked me to aces up bananas, peas, hairspray, and WD-40. Although I admitting it was a bad abstraction I followed her admonition and additionally went to Target, Kroger, Walmart, and Valvoline. Some will action over the abstraction of ITEM A, ITEM B, and ITEM C or ITEM A, ITEM B and ITEM C (notice one book has breach afterwards ITEM B and the added doesn't.) All of my analysis indicates that it is a best of appearance and not a adamantine and fast rule. What about analogous conjunctions (For, And, Nor, But, Or, Yet, So or FANBOYS for short). Any time you use them you should abode a breach afore it. See examples below:

Rocky loves to hit bodies in the ring, but he hates accepting them hit him

Rocky won't eat his cat food, nor will he eat any bananas


Rocky is a funny cat, and he sometimes eats his own backing litter.

Also use commas if you accept two adjectives, anecdotic the aforementioned subject. Examples are below

The old, beggarly man hit his accomplished on the garden arch.


It was a cold, bitter night.

Patients with acute, astringent headaches should ablution in babyish powder.


Great, but I charge more...

Now, in no way is this account exhaustive. I advance a few things to abide accretion your knowledge

Get yourself a appearance guide, like A Pocket Appearance Manual by Diana Hacker, which is the one I use. I've included suggestions below, in the Amazon bookstore section

Consider looking the internet for some convenance worksheets (see beneath for a few ideas)

Read a lot - the added you read, the added punctuation becomes natural.

Don't be abashed of writing. Autograph is the aroma of activity - It leaves a almanac of our thoughts and ideas. It allows others to blink into our lives or the time we lived in. It woos women and men with aureate balladry and amusing language. And, best importantly, it will access your GPA.
