COMMAS – 4 TYPES: introducers, coordinators, inserters, tags

Introducer commas come in front of the first independent clause:

Words: Therefore, I plan to quit smoking. / Nervously, I threw away my cigarette.
Phrases: As a result, I feel terrible now.// After 16 years of smoking, it’s not easy to quit.
Dependent Clauses: Because I have a cough, I need to stop smoking.
Direct quotations:: “I must stop smoking,” he said.
Coordinator Commas
Links coordinate (equal) elements in a sentence.
Compound Sentence with 2 indp. clauses: She has a good job, yet she is always broke.
They were tired, so they went to bed early.
Series of 3 or more words: He hates skiing, ice-skating, and sledding.
(no comma with only two items): He hates skiing and ice-skating.
Series of 3 or more phrases: A nurse has to work at night, on weekends, and on holidays.
We ran into the airport, checked our luggage, raced to the boarding gate, gave the attendant our boarding passes, and collapsed in our seats.

Inserter Commas -Inserted into the middle of an independent sentence

Words: My uncle, however, refuses to quit smoking.
Phrases: My father, on the other hand, has never smoked.
There’s no point in living, according to my mother, if you don’t do what you like.
Non-restrictive phrases and clauses: My aunt, his wife, died of lung cancer.
My cousins, who lost their mother to cancer, resolved never to smoke.
Reporting verbs in direct quotations: “I have tried to quit,” she says, “but I can’t.”

Tag Commas -Used when adding certain elements to the end of sentence:

Words: She believes that there is God, too.
Her husband doesn’t believe in God, however.
Phrases: He swims every day, for example.
He is a good tennis players, beating me all the time.
Tag Questions: It is not logical, is it?
Direct Quotations: He laughs as he says, “ I will live longer than you.”

Semicolons

Semicolon is more like a period than a comma, a very strong punctuation mark. They are used in three places:
1.Between two sentences that are closely connected in idea.
2.Before conjunctive adverbs and some transition phrases when they are followed by an independent clause.
3.Between items in the series when the items themselves contain commas.

1. Between two sentences with closely connected ideas

The meeting ended at dawn; nothing had been decided.
I didn’t accept the job offer; I want to go to graduate school.
The internet use is increasing; the internet crime is, too.

2. Before Connectors

Use a semicolon before a conjunctive adverbs such as however, therefore, nevertheless, moreover, and furthermore. Also, before transitional phrases such as for example, as a result, that is, in fact when they are followed by an independent clause.

Independent clause; conj. Adverb/trans. Phrase, independent clause.
Skiing is dangerous; however, millions of people ski.
I have never been to South America; in fact, I have never been abroad.

3. Between Items in a series

When the items in a series already contain commas, semicolons are used to separate the items.
Among all these cars, I like the Ferrari, with its quick acceleration and sporty look; the midsize Ford Taurus, with its comfortable seats and ease of handling; or the compact Geo, with its economical fuel consumption.

Colons

Draw attention to the words that come after the colon.
Before lists – use a colon to introduce a list.
Libraries have two kinds of periodicals: bound periodicals and current periodicals.
I need to buy the following groceries: eggs, milk, and coffee.

CAUTION – when not to use the colon?
After the verb to be:
To me the most important things in life are: health, love, and money. INCORRECT
The most important things in life are the following: health, love and money. O.K!!!
After a preposition:
I look forward to: swimming, walking on the beach, and good food.
Before Appositives (appositive: a word or group of words that renames another word)
He had one great love in his life: himself.
(There are also other uses, but we will not concentrate on them here)

Quotation Marks (“….”)

Three basic uses: to enclose direct quotations, to enclose unusual words, and to enclose titles of short works.
1. To enclose direct quotations
a) separate a quoted sentence from a reporting phrase with a comma:
The receptionist said, “The doctor is not here at the moment.”
“The doctor is not here at the moment,” the receptionist said.
b) Periods and commas go inside the second quotation mark of a pair:
“I thought he was responsible,” he said, “but he isn’t.”
c) colons and semicolons go outside quotation marks:
“Give me liberty, or give me death”: these are famous words.
d) exclamation marks (!) and question marks (?) go inside quotation marks:
“Is it 8 o’clock?” she asked.
2. Around unusual words or words with ironic meaning:
The promised “palace on the beach” was nothing more than a shack.
Around titles of short works, such as titles of articles, short stories, poems, and songs.
My favourite poem is “Wasteland” by T.S. Elliot.

These are pancakes European style, called crepes (French) or palanchinken (German, Hungarian). The youtube video shows how to make these.

These are pancakes North- American style. They are much thicker and fluffier.

Process Paragraph Sample:

Making Pancakes (youtube video link: http://youtube.com/watch?v=PnCVZozHTG8)

{topic sentence} Making delicious pancakes is really easy. First you prepare everything you need to make the pancakes. Take out cooking equipment out of the cupboards: a bowl, blender, scale, measuring cup, frying pan, and spatula. Next, prepare ingredients: oil, 100g flour, 500ml milk, 4 eggs. For pancake filling you can use anything you like, such as: nutella, maple syrup, lemon and sugar, jam. Now you are ready to make pancakes: crack eggs into the bowl. Add milk and using the blender beat the eggs for about 1-2 minutes. After this is done, add the flour and gently mix on low. Heat some oil in the pan. When the oil is hot enought, pour 1/2 cup pancake batter into the pan. After one side turns golden, flip the pancake over. When the other side is cooked, transfer onto a plate. Spread filling you like on the pancake. Now, the pancake is ready for you to enjoy. {conclusion} Any time you like to eat something easy and delicious, you can make pancakes.
