COMMAS
Rule 1
To avoid confusion, use commas to separate words and word groups with a series of three
or more.
Example:
My $10 million estate is to be split among my husband, daughter, son, and nephew.
Omitting the comma after son would indicate that the son and nephew would have to split
one-third of the estate.
Rule 2
Use a comma to separate two adjectives when the word and can be inserted between
them.
Examples:
He is a strong, healthy man.
We stayed at an expensive summer resort. You would not say expensive and summer
resort, so no comma.
Exclamination point
Sometimes called the exclamation mark, the exclamation point is used at the end of a sentence
or after an interjection to show strong emotion or emphasis.
Exclamatory sentence: The rain did not stop for four days!
Strong command: Be back at ten o'clock or else!
Interjection: Wow!
Colons
Rule 1
Use the colon after a complete sentence to introduce a list of items when introductory
words such as namely, for example, or that is do not appear.
Examples:
You may be required to bring many items: sleeping bags, pans, and warm clothing.
I want the following items: butter, sugar, and flour.
I want an assistant who can do the following: (1) input data, (2) write reports, and (3)
complete tax forms.
Rule 2
A colon should not precede a list unless it follows a complete sentence; however, the
colon is a style choice that some publications allow.
Examples:
If a waitress wants to make a good impression on her customers and boss, she should (a)
dress appropriately, (b) calculate the bill carefully, and (c) be courteous to customers.
There are three ways a waitress can make a good impression on her boss and her
customers:
(a) Dress appropriately.
(b) Calculate the bill carefully.
(c) Be courteous to customers.
I want an assistant who can (1) input data, (2) write reports, and (3) complete tax forms.
Semi colons
Rule 1
Use a semicolon in place of a period to separate two sentences where the conjunction has
been left out.
Examples:
Call me tomorrow; I will give you my answer then.
I have paid my dues; therefore, I expect all the privileges listed in the contract.
Rule 2
It is preferable to use a semicolon before introductory words such as namely, however,
therefore, that is, i.e., for example, e.g., or for instance when they introduce a complete
sentence. It is also preferable to use a comma after the introductory word.
Examples:
You will want to bring many backpacking items; for example, sleeping bags, pans, and
warm clothing will make the trip better.
As we discussed, you will bring two items; i.e., a sleeping bag and a tent are not optional.
Quotations marks
Rule 1
Periods and commas always go inside quotation marks, even inside single quotes.
Examples:
The sign changed from "Walk," to "Don't Walk," to "Walk" again within 30 seconds.
She said, "Hurry up."
She said, "He said, 'Hurry up.'"
Rule 2
The placement of question marks with quotes follows logic. If a question is in quotation
marks, the question mark should be placed inside the quotation marks.
Examples:
She asked, "Will you still be my friend?"
Do you agree with the saying, "All's fair in love and war"?
Here the question is outside the quote.
NOTE: Only one ending punctuation mark is used with quotation marks. Also, the
stronger punctuation mark wins. Therefore, no period after war is used.
Parentheses
Rule 1
Use parentheses to enclose words or figures that clarify or are used as an aside.
Examples:
I expect five hundred dollars ($500).
He finally answered (after taking five minutes to think) that he did not understand the
question.
Commas could have been used in the above example. Parentheses show less emphasis or
importance.
Em dashes, which could also have been used instead of parentheses, show emphasis.
Rule 2
Use full parentheses to enclose numbers or letters used for listed items.
Example:
We need an emergency room physician who can (1) think quickly, (2) treat patients
respectfully, and (3) handle complaints from the public.
