Show transcript
A comma is written before 'but' or 'or' co-ordinating conjunctions in a compound sentence.
If the adverbial clause is first in an adverbial complex sentence, it is followed by a comma before the main clause.
If the main clause is first in an adverbial complex sentence, it is not followed by a comma before the adverbial clause.
A relative clause often interrupts after the subject of the main clause at the start of the sentence.
A pair of commas is used around the relative clause to demarcate it from the main clause.
