A direct address is used to speak directly to someone, typically set off by commas in a sentence. For example, in the sentence "Lisa, could you help me with this?" the name "Lisa" is the direct address. It's important to place commas before and after the name or title to clarify that you are addressing that specific person.
Yes, you should use a comma to set off a direct address in a sentence. For example, in the sentence "John, can you please pass the salt?" the comma after "John" sets off the direct address.
Direct address.
The function of a noun in direct address to get the attention of the one spoken to or to identify the person spoken to among two or more people. A noun in direct address is not a subject or an object of a sentence. A sentence should be a correct sentence when the noun of direct address is removed, for example:Greg, please pick up your things. OR Please pick up your things. (The subject of the sentence is the implied pronoun 'you'.)Listen for the telephone, kids. OR Listen for the telephone. (Again, the implied subject is the pronoun 'you'.)Please, Greta, accept my apologies. OR Please accept my apologies.Jack, you can pick up the kids and, Jane, you can stop at the store. (This is more polite than pointing at the person and saying "You can...")Note: A noun of direct address is always separated from the rest of the sentence by commas, whether it begins the sentence, is in the middle of the sentence, or ends the sentence.
Sure! "John, please pass the salt." In this sentence, "John" is the direct address as it is directly calling out to someone.
Sometimes! Direct address can be anywhere in the sentence -beginning, middle, and end!Examples:Beginning: 'Jennifer, please do your homework.'Middle: 'After you clean your room, Caitlyn, we can eat some ice cream.'End: 'Which dog would you like, Joe?'By the way, the direct address is 90% of the time a name, except when someone says: Whatchamacallit, get me a burger!
