Write three sentences, each using a comma in a different way. Explain why the comma is needed in each sentence. (4 points) make it simple worded like a 7th grader wrote it and write 3 seperate sentences

Answer 1

1. I want to go to the park, but it's going to rain.
   Explanation: The comma is needed before "but" because it connects two complete ideas (independent clauses) in one sentence.

2. To make a cake, you need flour, sugar, and eggs.
   Explanation: The comma is used after "cake" to separate the introductory phrase from the main part of the sentence, and it is also used between "sugar" and "and eggs" to separate items in a list.

3. My brother, who is ten years old, plays soccer every Saturday.
   Explanation: The commas around "who is ten years old" show that this part of the sentence is extra information about my brother and can be removed without changing the main meaning.
