Commas (Part 2)

Hello! I'm back with more of this! I hope you like learning middle school
English.
Seriously though, I'm doing this because I want to help people grow as writers. There are so many stories that hurt because of grammar mistakes, it can really ruin your connection with the story.

Anyways, I hope you enjoy!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

9. Use a comma to separate the day of the month from the year, and also, you need to add a comma after the year.

Ex: February 3rd, 2018, will be my next birthday. (:'))

However, no comma is needed if it only says the month

Ex: February, 2018 is the month of my next birthday.

10. Use a comma to separate the city from the state, and but one after the state too.

Ex: There is a city named Earth, Texas, in the US.

~~~~~~~~~~

11. Use commas to enclose a degree of title that goes with their name.

Ex: There is Casey, the manager.

~~~~~~~~~~~

12. Use commas to introduce or interrupt direct quotations.

Slit sighed, "Why does school exist?"
" Why? ", Shadow asked, "it's not that bad?"

~~~~~~~~~~~~

13. If the quotation comes before he said, and wrote, they reported, etc., end the quotation with a comma, even if it's one word.

"Wait," she demanded.
"Stay here for a bit," they stated.

If the quotation functions as an object or subject, it may not need a comma.

I'm tired of hearing "I don't care" from your mouth all the time.
Saying "I had some gum" on the bus was a mistake.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

14. Use a comma to separate a statement from a question.

I can go, right?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

15. Use commas to separate contrasting parts of a sentence.

This is mine, not yours.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

16. A comma should precede the term etc. It is also recommended to use a comma after it too.

I brought the chips, snacks, etc., to the party.

WHOO I finished the lesson!
Anyways, I really hope you learn from this and also grow to be a better writer!
I hope you enjoyed this(somehow)
