Using commas to set off
transitional expressions
 Transitional expressions are added
comments or information. They are set off
with commas because they often interrupt
or digress; sometimes they even help
connect parts of sentences. Most of the
time these expressions can be taken out of
the sentence and the sentence still makes
sense.
