Commas Colons and Semicolons

The "comma"is before the word"but"because if you had a sentence that your teacher wants you to write,that sentence would be called a"compound sentence".A compound sentence is a sentence that have the words"but"and"and".(example.I want that dog ,but I changed my mind.)

Typically, autocorrect will correct misspelled words as you type, regardless of whether you press the spacebar, comma, or period. The correction is usually applied automatically after you finish typing the word.

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.

There are incidents in writing when you do use a comma and a "and" together in the same sentence structure. The coma comes before the "and", not after it. Here is an example: I love to eat french fries, bacon, and chocolate; not together though.

Susie said, "I love to have music playing and," she sneezed, "watch TV while I am doing my homework. It drives my mother crazy that I get straight "A"s and she did not when she was a teenager."

Notice that in this sentence her dialog is interrupted right when she says "and". Therefore a comma was used. This would be a very narrow instance when that would happen. Remember that the comma goes before the and when you are listing things in a sentence. The and is used before the last item.

It depends. If you are in 8th grade or earlier no. 9th and higher yes because teachers actually know grammar rules in high school.

If it is the last word in the sentence than yes you would use the comma. Commas are so you could take a little rest between words.

Examples:

I like cotton candy, too!

Your at this park, too?

I can't believe you did this to me, too!

You gossip, too?

A semicolon is used between independent clauses when no conjunction is used. It indicates a closer connection between the two clauses than a period would.

Yes, that's correct. An appositive is a noun or noun phrase that renames or explains another noun, and it is typically offset by commas for clarity. It provides additional information about the noun it follows.

Between hot and humid, which are coordinate adjectives. A little trick to remember coordinate adjectives -- if you can place "and" between them, you need a comma.

may indicate that a sentence contains a comparison context clue.

She told me everything I wanted to know, she was quite helpful, whereas her sister refused to lift a finger to help us.

Usually no, although it depends on the context.

Example without a comma following "whereas":

Old rose varieties are generally very fragrant, whereas the new hybrids often seem to have very little fragrance.

Example with a comma following "whereas":

He was polite and reserved at the office, whereas, if you saw him on the football field, you might not recognize that fierce competitor as the same person.

Before.

If you are listing three or more things in a sentence, there are two ways to use commas.

The most well known way is to not use a

comma. Ex: Paul likes fishing, swimming and sailing.

If you use a comma, place it before "and." Ex: Paul likes fishing, swimming, and sailing. This is called using an "Oxford comma."

Yes, typically there is a comma after "for instance" in a sentence to separate it from the rest of the sentence and provide a clear break before introducing an example.

The sentence does not demonstrate proper comma usage. A comma should be placed after "break" and "vacation" to separate the independent clauses. The revised sentence would be: Many students anticipate spring break, but Luis looks forward to winter vacation more.

Commas are used to separate items in a list, to separate introductory phrases or clauses, to set off non-essential information in a sentence, and to separate adjectives when they modify the same noun.

A comma (,) is a punctuation mark that appears as a small horizontal line with a curve beneath it. It is used to separate elements within a sentence or to indicate a pause.

Yes, it is possible.

EX:

1: Angel does not like going to the vet; getting her into the car is hard enough.

But unless the sentence is in a form similar to the sentence above, I wouldn't recommend using a semi colon before the word, 'getting.'

I hope this helped!

Second-person point of view uses words like "you" and "your" to address the reader directly, making it seem like the narrator is speaking to the reader as if they were a character in the story. This style of narration immerses the reader and creates a more intimate and engaging experience.

Yes, at least that's what Facebook and professional blogs do;)

Typically, the semicolon implies " and" and therefore using and after a semicolon is redundant.

Yes, you would use "an" before "uncle" if "uncle" begins with a vowel sound, as in "an uncle."
