INCORRECT!!

• I have a dream that one day the state of
  Alabama, whose governor's lips are presently
  dripping with the words of interposition and
  nullification, will be transformed into a
  situation where little black boys and black girls
  will be able to join hands with little white boys
  and white girls and walk together as sisters and
  brothers. Martin Luther King, Jr., made this
  speech in 1963.

• There is no parenthetical citation nothing
  telling us where the writer got this quote of Dr.
  Kings.

  the sentence.

COMMAS!

• USE COMMAS
• After introductory elements
• In fact Slowly Nevertheless
• Frustrated, he wondered
• In Fitzgeralds novel, the color green takes
• To win the game, the football players
• Gripped with anxiety, the students
• Wearing her newest pair of shoes, Sheila

20
COMMAS!

• USE COMMAS
• In compound sentences
• A comma precedes a coordinating conjunction
• Coordinating Conjunctions join TWO INDEPENDENT
  CLAUSES
  
• I went to the park. I ate some ice cream.
• I went to the park, and I ate some ice cream.
• FANBOYS!
• For, And, But, Or, Yet, So
• WARNING!!!
• Just because a FANBOYS word is in a sentence DOES
  NOT ALWAYS mean you have to use a comma. Use
  commas only when joining TWO INDEPENDENT
  CLAUSES!

21

• USE COMMAS
• To set off nonrestrictive phrases
• Nonrestrictive phrase phrases, words, clauses,
  that DO NOT LIMIT or change the meaning of the
  words they modify
  
• Stephanie, amazed, stared at the strange vehicle
  
  
• This sentence does not change meaning too much
  with word amazed, so the word amazed is a
  nonrestrictive word that does not limit the
  meaning of the sentence.
• To mark contrast
• It was he who ate the beef, not the little girl.
• They won the game, even though they were
  exhausted.
