Use a comma + a little conjunction (and, but, for, nor, yet, or, so) to connect two independent clauses • He hit the ball well, but he ran toward third base. • Use a comma to set off introductory elements – “Running toward third base, he suddenly realized how stupid he looked.” • Use a comma to set off parenthetical elements – "The Founders Bridge, which spans the Connecticut River, is falling down." • Use a comma to set off quoted elements – Summing up this argument, Peter Coveney writes, "The purpose and strength of the romantic image of the child had been above all to establish a relation between childhood and adult consciousness." • Use commas to set off phrases that express contrast – Some say the world will end in ice, not fire. • Use a comma to avoid confusion. – For most the year is already finished. – For most, the year is already finished. • Never use only one comma between a subject and its verb – "Believing completely and positively in oneself is essential for success."
