Proper use of commas in English writingis essential for clear communication and correct grammar. This comprehensive guide... Show more
The second page focuses on using commas in compound sentences and lists, providing clear guidelines for proper punctuation in more complex sentence structures.
Definition FANBOYS is an acronym for the coordinating conjunctions for, and, nor, or, but, yet, so.
Example "Fishing, hiking, and camping are my favorite summer activities" demonstrates proper comma usage in lists.
Highlight When creating compound sentences, always use a comma before FANBOYS conjunctions to join independent clauses.
Example "I've never been one for studying grammar, so I overlooked that part of my ACT preparation" shows correct compound sentence structure.
Vocabulary Serial comma (Oxford comma) is the comma used before the final conjunction in a list of three or more items.
The first page explores the crucial role of commas in setting off dependent and subordinate clauses. It details various types of clauses requiring comma usage, including appositives, participial phrases, and relative clauses.
Definition Appositives are words or phrases that rename or modify the original pronouns in a sentence.
Example "My cat, a purebred Persian, acts like a feral dog" demonstrates an appositive phrase set off by commas.
Highlight When using relative pronouns, commas are required before "which" but not before "that" as "which" introduces non-essential information while "that" introduces essential information.
Example "Those movies, which I've never even attempted to watch, are my sister's favorites" shows correct comma usage with "which."
Vocabulary Participial phrases are verb phrases that function as adjectives and are typically set off by commas when they appear at the beginning of a sentence.

The app is very easy to use and well designed. I have found everything I was looking for so far and have been able to learn a lot from the presentations! I will definitely use the app for a class assignment! And of course it also helps a lot as an inspiration.

Wow, I am really amazed. I just tried the app because I've seen it advertised many times and was absolutely stunned. This app is THE HELP you want for school and above all, it offers so many things, such as workouts and fact sheets, which have been VERY helpful to me personally.

I think itโs very much worth it and youโll end up using it a lot once you get the hang of it and even after looking at others notes you can still ask your Artificial intelligence buddy the question and ask to simplify it if you still donโt get it!!! In the end I think itโs worth it ๐๐ โ ๏ธAlso DID I MENTION ITS FREEE YOU DONโT HAVE TO PAY FOR ANYTHING AND STILL GET YOUR GRADES IN PERFECTLYโ๏ธโ๏ธโ ๏ธ

The app's just great! All I have to do is enter the topic in the search bar and I get the response real fast. I don't have to watch 10 YouTube videos to understand something, so I'm saving my time. Highly recommended!

I found this app a couple years ago and it has only gotten better since then. I really love it because it can help with written questions and photo questions. Also, it can find study guides that other people have made as well as flashcard sets and practice tests. The free version is also amazing for students who might not be able to afford it. Would 100% recommend
