Students will be able to...- recognize dependent and independent
clauses.- demonstrate correct comma usage.
- identify comma mistakes and correctthem.
Why: Many students struggle with commas on all major essays. Many of you wrote this down when I asked what grammar issues you feel would be good to cover.
Objective

What is a clause?
There are two kinds of clauses:
1. Independent
2. Dependent
What you need to know first:
![Page 5: Monday Grammar: Commas](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081503/56815c1c550346895dc9f0cb/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
An independent clause is a group of words that contains a subject and verb and expresses a complete thought. An independent clause is a sentence.
Example: Jim studied in the Sweet Shop for his chemistry quiz.
What is the subject? What is the verb?
Independent Clause
![Page 6: Monday Grammar: Commas](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081503/56815c1c550346895dc9f0cb/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
A dependent clause is a group of words that contains a subject and verb but does not express a complete thought. A dependent clause cannot be a sentence.
Example: When Jim was in the Sweet Shop for his
chemistry quiz
Is this a complete thought? What do we need?
Dependent Clause
![Page 7: Monday Grammar: Commas](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081503/56815c1c550346895dc9f0cb/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Often a dependent clause is marked by a dependent marker word.
A dependent marker word is a word added to the beginning of an independent clause that makes it into a dependent clause.
Some common dependent markers are: after, although, as, as if, because, before, even if, even though, if, in order to, since, though, unless, until, whatever, when, whenever, whether, and while.
Dependent Marker Words

Use your own piece of paper to decide whether each clause on the next slide is independent or dependent.

Now that we know how to recognize independent and dependent clauses, as well as the dependent marker words, we are able to learn the comma rules.
NOTE: There are MANY rules for commas. The only
way to really learn them is to practice them over a long period of time. You will always be practicing comma usage!
Now what?
![Page 13: Monday Grammar: Commas](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081503/56815c1c550346895dc9f0cb/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
1. Use commas to separate independent clauses when they are joined by any of these seven coordinating conjunctions: for, and, nor, but, or, yet, so.
These are called FANBOYS.-You must use a comma
when combining sentences using FANBOYS.
Comma Rule #1
![Page 14: Monday Grammar: Commas](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081503/56815c1c550346895dc9f0cb/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)

Use commas after introductory clauses.

the door.• Because her alarm clock was broken, she
was late for class.• If you are ill, you ought to see a doctor.Common starter words for introductory clauses that
should be followed by a comma include after, although, as, because, if, since, when, while.

Use commas after introductory words that come before the main clause.
Examples: • Well, perhaps he meant no harm.• Yes, the package should arrive tomorrow

Comma Rule #2 C
![Page 19: Monday Grammar: Commas](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081503/56815c1c550346895dc9f0cb/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)

3. Use a pair of commas in the middle of a sentence to set off clauses, phrases, and words that are not essential to the meaning of the sentence. Use one comma before to indicate the beginning of the pause and one at the end of the pause.
Comma Rule #3
![Page 35: Monday Grammar: Commas](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081503/56815c1c550346895dc9f0cb/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Here are some clues to help you decide whether the sentence element is essential:
• If you leave out the clause, phrase, or word, does the sentence still make sense?
• Does the clause, phrase, or word interrupt the flow of words in the original sentence?
• If you move the element to a different position in the sentence, does the sentence still make sense?
If you answer "yes" to one or more of these questions, then the element in question is nonessential and should be set off with commas.
Clues for Rule #3
![Page 36: Monday Grammar: Commas](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081503/56815c1c550346895dc9f0cb/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Clause: That Tuesday, which happens to be my birthday, is the only day when I am available to meet.
Phrase: This restaurant has an exciting atmosphere. The food, on the other hand, is rather bland.
Word: I appreciate your hard work. In this case, however, you seem to have over-exerted yourself.

4. Do not use commas to set off essential elements of the sentence, such as clauses beginning with that (relative clauses).
That clauses after nouns are always essential. That clauses following a verb expressing mental action are always essential.
Comma Rule #4
![Page 38: Monday Grammar: Commas](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081503/56815c1c550346895dc9f0cb/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
That clauses after nouns:
The book that I borrowed from you is excellent.The apples that fell out of the basket are bruised.
That clauses following a verb expressing mental action:
She believes that she will be able to earn an A.He is dreaming that he can fly.
Examples

Examples of other essential elements (no commas):
Students who cheat only harm themselves.The baby wearing a yellow jumpsuit is my niece.
Examples of nonessential elements (set off by commas):
Fred, who often cheats, is just harming himself.My niece, wearing a yellow jumpsuit, is playing in the
living room.

5. Use commas to separate three or more words, phrases, or clauses written in a series.
Examples:
The Constitution establishes the legislative, executive, and judicial branches of government.
The candidate promised to lower taxes, protect the environment, reduce crime, and end unemployment.

Rules 6-9
Commas
![Page 61: Monday Grammar: Commas](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081503/56815c1c550346895dc9f0cb/html5/thumbnails/61.jpg)
Comma Rule #6
6. Use commas to separate two or more coordinate adjectives that describe the same noun.
Note: Be sure never to add an extra comma between the final adjective and the noun itself or to use commas with non-coordinate adjectives.
![Page 62: Monday Grammar: Commas](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081503/56815c1c550346895dc9f0cb/html5/thumbnails/62.jpg)
• Coordinate adjectives are adjectives with equal) status in describing the noun
• Neither adjective is subordinate to the other
You can decide if two adjectives in a row are coordinate by asking the following questions:
• Does the sentence make sense if the adjectives are written in reverse order?
• Does the sentence make sense if the adjectives are written with and between them?
If you answer yes to these questions, then the adjectives are coordinate and should be separated by a comma.
What is a Coordinative Adjective?
![Page 63: Monday Grammar: Commas](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081503/56815c1c550346895dc9f0cb/html5/thumbnails/63.jpg)
Your cousin has an easy, happy smile.
He was a difficult, stubborn child.
Examples of sentences with NON-COORDINATIVE adjectives:
• They lived in a white frame house.
• She often wore a gray wool shawl. (They don't fit with the clues)
Examples of Rule #6

7. Use a comma near the end of a sentence to separate contrasted coordinate elements or to indicate a distinct pause or shift.
Comma Rule #7

8. Use commas to set off phrases at the end of the sentence that refer to the beginning or middle of the sentence.
Such phrases are free modifiers that can be placed anywhere in the sentence without causing confusion. (If the placement of the modifier causes confusion, then it is not "free" and must remain "bound" to the word it modifies.)
