Question

Select three ways to use an introductory comma.

after a subject
after a particpial phrase
after an adverb
after a subordinate clause
after an interjection

Answer 1

Here are three ways to use an introductory comma:

1. **After a subordinate clause**: When a sentence begins with a subordinate clause, a comma is used after the clause to separate it from the main clause.
- Example: "Although it was raining, we decided to go for a walk."

2. **After an interjection**: When an interjection is used at the beginning of a sentence, a comma follows it.
- Example: "Wow, that was an amazing performance!"

3. **After an adverb**: An introductory adverb can be followed by a comma to separate it from the main clause.
- Example: "Quickly, she finished her homework."

These uses help clarify the structure of sentences and improve readability.
