2 answers

  1. Before the rain began, we decided to stay indoors.

    • The comma is used after "began" to separate the introductory clause from the main clause. This makes the sentence clearer and helps the reader understand the sequence of events.

  2. The cake, which was chocolate, was a big hit at the party.

    • The commas around "which was chocolate" create a non-restrictive clause, indicating that the information is additional and not essential to the main idea of the sentence. Removing this clause does not change the fundamental meaning, which is that the cake was a success.

  3. I packed my bags, checked my tickets, and headed to the airport.

    • The comma before "and" (the Oxford comma) is used to separate items in a list. It enhances clarity by indicating that each item—my bags, my tickets, and the action of heading to the airport—is distinct, preventing any possible confusion.
