Why is Redundancy used?
Redundancy is often
use to help pad out
writing and make it seem longer than it
really is, but instead of helping it just
makes the writing difficult to read.

+
Brainstorm
When do
we use commas?
+
Commas in Lists
Rule: Use a comma to separate individual parts of lists
that contain three or more items.
+
Commas with lists, Continued.
Commas should follow all but the last word in the
list:

Elizabeth’s favorite colors are red, white, and blue.

Gene ran, tripped, and fell into the water.
Myra
brought macaroni and cheese, fried chicken,
and watermelon to the picnic.
Note: There is a comma before the word and that
precedes the last item in the list.
+

Now It’s your turn
Punctuate the list in the following sentence:
Sherman will try to eat any bugs he sees including worms flies grasshoppers and crickets.
Sherman will try to eat any bugs he sees including
worms , flies, grasshoppers, and crickets.
Now, write
a sentence that lists the things your imaginary pet will eat.
+
Using Commas and Coordinating
Conjunctions to Combine sentences
Rule: If you desire to combine two sentences, place a comma
followed by a coordinating conjunction between the two
sentences to make a compound sentence.
Sentence 1: Jack fell down and broke his crown.
Sentence 2: Jill came tumbling after him.
Combination: Jack fell down and broke his
crown, and Jill came tumbling after him.
+
Let’s look again at our example
 Jack
fell down and broke his crown, and Jill came
tumbling after him.
 Where
do you notice that there is an and but no
comma?
 Why
do you think that to properly punctuate this
passage you must not use a comma here?
 Answer:
The word and is joining only two verbs
rather than two independent clauses (groups of
words that could stand alone as sentences).
+
In short…
When using
FANBOYS only use a
comma when they are combining two
independent clauses.
+ Now it’s your turn
Add the missing comma(s) to the following
nursery rhyme:
Peter Peter, pumpkin eater, had a wife and
couldn’t keep her. He put her in a pumpkin
shell and there he kept her very well.
Peter Peter, pumpkin eater, had a wife and
couldn’t keep her. He put her in a pumpkin
shell, and there he kept her very well.
+
More Practice

Ms. Byrd went to the store and bought chips cookies and crackers.

Khepre completed his homework and washed the dishes.

Priscilla cooked dinner and she made dessert.

Write out the sentence and punctuate them correctly. When you
finish, quietly stand up, and then sit down.
2 minutes!
+
Commas after introductory elements
Rule: Place a comma after an introductory element to
separate it from the main sentence.
+
What are “Introductory elements”?
An introductory element can be a single word (like an
adverb), a phrase, or an entire dependent clause that comes
before the main subject of a sentence.
Single word: Therefore, I believe we should not serve
cabbage at the dinner.
Phrase: On the refrigerator, you will find a list of
alternatives.
Dependent Clause: Although John likes cabbage, it makes
him gassy.
+
Commas After introductory elements,
continued.
Examples:

Although John likes cabbage, it makes him gassy.

Therefore, I believe we should not serve cabbage at the dinner.

On the refrigerator, you will find a list of alternatives.
+
Now it’s your turn
Add commas after each introductory element in the
following passage:
Built for the cold Great Pyrenees dogs are massive
dogs with thick, white fur. Although they are quite
gentle shepherds originally developed the breed to
fend off bears, wolves, and other predators. Today
ranchers in the U.S. still rely on these gentle giants
to protect flocks.
+ Corrected version
Built for the cold, Great
Pyrenees dogs are massive
dogs with thick, white fur.
Although they are quite gentle,
shepherds originally developed
the breed to fend of bears,
wolves, and other predators.
Today, ranchers in the U.S. still
rely on these gentle giants to
protect flocks.
+
Commas with Non-Essential elements
Examples:
 Dr.
Smith, my English teacher, is very
knowledgeable about grammar.
 Kevin, who
is originally from Kenya, is a new
tutor at the SSC.
 All students, whether they
are close to
graduating or not, should make sure they are
taking the correct courses to fit their degree
plans.
+
Commas with Non-Essential elements
Rule: Put commas around non-essential elements in a sentence.
Question: What is a “non-essential element”?
Answer: Also called a “parenthetical element,” a
non-essential element is any element that can be
removed without altering the meaning of the
sentence.
+
Now it’s your turn
Punctuate the following sentences:
 Gene
wants to speak with all the club members
even those who have already paid about the dues
situation.
 Mt.
Everest the tallest mountain in the world kills
more hikers each year than any other mountain.
 Bob
plans to take all the youth who participated in
the musical to the amusement park.
+
Semi-Colons
+
Combining sentences
The most common use of semi-colon is joining two complete
sentences together.
 Example:
Lynn and Pat are friends; every week they go to
the store together.
 Example:
Bill and Dan don’t get along well; however, they
have pledged to “behave themselves” on the business trip.
Note: Often semi-colons are followed by conjunctive adverbs (i.e.
however, therefore, meanwhile, etc…)
