Comma<br />
The comma has many uses:<br />
To separate items in series:<br />
- The UNO has global goals like: No poverty, Zero hunger, Gender quality, Climate action,<br />
and life below water.<br />
Notes: The final comma is optional, but is often used. In descriptive words, a comma is<br />
needed, but if and is inserted between the words, the comma is omitted.<br />
Comma after introductory material:<br />
- According to the International Labour Organization (ILO), more than 204 million people<br />
are unemployed as of 2015.<br />
Note: If the introductory material is brief, sometimes the comma is omitted.<br />
Comma around extra information interrupting the flow of the thought:<br />
The comma is placed on both sides of the words or phrase interrupting the flow.<br />
- The UNO, with the 3 Good Health and Well-being global goal, has made progress in<br />
several areas, including in child and maternal health as well as in addressing HIV/AIDS,<br />
malaria and other diseases.<br />
Comma between two complete thoughts:<br />
We use FANBOYS for this.<br />
- Access to good health and well-being is a human right, and that is why the Sustainable<br />
Development Agenda offers a new chance to ensure that everyone can access the<br />
highest standards of health and health care— not just the wealthiest.<br />
Notes: If the thoughts are shorts, it is optional to use the comma. Be careful and do not<br />
separate two verbs from one thought.<br />
Comma with direct quotations:<br />
The comma will be written inside of the quotations if the statement is at the beginning of<br />
the sentences, and if the statement that is within quotations is at the end, the comma will<br />
be written before the quotations.<br />
- “Works in teams,” said the teacher, “That will be helpful for your research about the<br />
global goals.”<br />
Comma with everyday material:<br />
Everyday material stands for: persons spoken to, dates, address, openings and closings of<br />
letters, and numbers.<br />
- Fred, you deadline for your research about the global goal “Zero Hunger” is on June 13,<br />
2017, and it has to have at least 2,00 pages.<br />
Notes: Comma is not used before a zip code. In formal letter, a colon is used after the<br />
opening.
