Is the comma before or after but?

Punctuation is dictated by the meaning of your sentence, not by the presence of particular words. A comma indicates a brief pause. Say your sentence aloud, and where you find that you naturally pause briefly, you will probably find that a comma is appropriate. Other people may punctuate the same sentence differently. That is not necessarily wrong. A lot depends on the context: whether it is formal, informal, written, spoken, and so on. Here are some examples: 'There was nobody in the house but my mother.' (No comma) 'I like cheese, but my sister can't stand it.' (Comma before 'but') 'I would prefer you to stay at home but, if you do go out, please wear a warm coat.' (Comma after 'but') 'I would prefer you to stay at home, but if you do go out, please wear a warm coat.' (Comma before 'but') (The last two examples convey slightly different shades of meaning.) It's perfectly possible to have a comma both before and after the word 'but' if you think the sense requires it, but you should be wary of having too many commas in one sentence.


Do you put a comma after the word maybe?

Whether you put a comma after the word maybe depends on the context. For example:I thought maybe I'd go shopping.I wondered whether to go shopping and thought, maybe I will.Maybe it will rain later today.It will rain later today, maybe.


How do you write one thousand pounds in numbers?

1000. The symbol for the measurement units and whether it comes before or after the numbers depends on whether it is a measure of mass or currency and, in the latter case, the currency of which country.
