ESSAY WRITING 101— COMMA RULE #1 COMMAS IN A SERIES ELA 7

Basic Commas in a Series RULE:  When you see words or phrases listed in a series (in a row), put a comma after every item except the last word or phrase (more than two items in a row constitutes a series). PURPOSE- to help your readers understand when you are listing things in a series. EXAMPLES:  Wednesdays are busy because I have school, soccer, dance, and confirmation class.  When I got up this morning, it was pouring rain, my dog had made a big mess, my brother had eaten all the cereal, and my favorite TV cartoon was over.

Where do the commas go in these sentences? Directions:  Copy the sentences on your own piece of loose leaf paper.  As you write, insert commas where they are needed.  Finally, highlight the commas. 1) My favorite Yankees are Derek Jeter Mariano Rivera Jorge Posada and Robinson Cano. 2) I had a crazy weekend because of a family picnic in Sodus a soccer tournament in Penn Yan and a birthday party in Buffalo. 3) Before I go to bed, I drink a glass of milk read for half an hour and make sure my Batman nightlight is plugged in.
