What else can I help you with?
Do you need a comma before a conjunction?
not in all cases.
Does an comma go before or after 'so'?
A comma typically goes before "so" when it is used at the beginning of a sentence to indicate a reason or result. However, when "so" is used as a conjunction in the middle of a sentence, it does not usually need a comma before it.
Should you put a comma in front of a conjunction?
Yes, if it joins two independent clauses, or joins items in a list. If it does not, then it is not always needed. For instance, "I like apples and oranges." The and (a conjunction), does not need a comma before it in this case.
Do you have to add comma before using the word plus?
No, you do not need to add a comma before using the word "plus" when connecting two phrases or clauses. The word "plus" can be used as a conjunction to join two ideas without requiring a comma.
Do you capitlalize but after a comma?
Only proper nouns and I are capitalized after a comma. But is a conjunction, so no, it doesn't need to be capitalized.
Do you need a comma when the clause begins with a subordinate conjunction?
Yes, a comma is generally needed when a subordinate clause begins with a subordinate conjunction. The comma is used to separate the subordinate clause from the main clause.
A comma is usually not needed when a sentence includes an extra phrase beginning with the word?
"and," "but," "or," or "nor." This is known as a coordinating conjunction. For example, "I like to hike and swim" does not need a comma before "and."
What mark do I use to separate two independent clauses that are joined by a conjunction?
When two independent clauses are joined by a conjunction (such as "and," "but," or "or"), you typically do not need a comma before the conjunction unless the clauses are lengthy or complex. For example, in the sentence "I wanted to go for a walk, but it started to rain," a comma is used before "but" because it connects two independent clauses. However, in simpler cases like "I like coffee and I like tea," no comma is necessary.
Should you use a comma before but?
No, you don't use or put a comma before 'but' instead place it after it (but). Why? Simply because the word 'but' itself' acts as a comma, you pause when you get there. Never stop or pause the sentence until you get to the word itself as it acts out as a comma, even though there are some times where you can get a comma after it.
Where does comma go when joining two complete sentences before or after the conjuction?
When you join two sentences with a comma and a conjunction, the comma follows the last word in the 1st sentence and is followed by the conjuntion. For example "I am short, and you are tall." Just make sure that the second sentence has a subject with its verb, or it won't need the comma. Ex. "I'm fat and going to lose weight" (no comma because there's only one suject) vs. "I'm fat, and I'm going to lose weight" (yes comma because there's a second subject even if it's restated.)
Do you always need a comma before where?
No. There is no word in English that always requires a comma before it.
Do you use a comma before the word 'while'?
As a conjunction that begins a subordinate clause, the word "while" doesn't need a preceding comma when it ends a sentence. For example, The children ate all the cotton candy while their aunt cleaned up the spilled drinks.
