16. If you want to quote directly from someoneÕs speech, then you have to use comma (,).
Examples :
•Sazid said, ÒI can complete the task.Ó
•Siam said to Galib, Ò Today , I will take you to see the Rupsha Bridge.Ó
17. If words like Hello, Yes, No, Well, But, Alright, Please, Anyway are placed at the beginning of a sentence then we have to use comma after that word.
Examples,
•Yes, I sent the mail, Mr Raj.
•Hello, IÕm Sadat.
•Yes, I guess you are right.
•Please, Sifat, hold this picture for me.
•Anyway, I miss them all very much.
18. We have to use commas after introductory words, phrases, clauses and modifiers.
Examples,
Introductory Words => Moreover, disciples are expected to read at least one classic every eight weeks.
Phrase => We have a government of the people, by the people, and for the people.
Subordinate Clause => I did not know who the girl was, where she had come from, or why she was there.
Principal Clause => I got up. I brushed my teeth and washed my face.
Modifier => He was a tall, handsome, and gentle boy.
19. If we find one subject in a sentence then we no need to use comma (,) before and, but, or.
Example :
•Rehan sat down and took his sneakers off.
20. If we find more than one subject in a sentence then we have to use comma (,) before and, but, or.
Example :
•Rehan was tired, and his legs were aching.
•It was a good car, but he could not afford it.
21. Like full stop mark, comma (,) will be placed inside the quotation mark.
Example :
•The police robot said, ÒMove.Ó Then it said, ÒDonÕt move,Ó then, ÒMove,Ó all within twenty seconds.
22. We have to use comma (,) if the number of the digits are more than four.
Example :
•24,500
•1,47,570 square kilometers.
23. If linking words or connectors are placed at the beginning of a sentence, then we have to use comma (,) at the ending of the first clause.
Example :
•If you come, I will go.
24. We have to use comma before and after the apposition. Apposition just gives us the extra information about a noun or pronoun and it is generally placed before the main verb of a sentence.
Example :
•My father, a doctor, loves me so much.
25. We will not use comma generally after the adjective clause. The adjective clause just tells us about a noun and this clause is generally placed after a noun having who, what, which, etc.
Example :
•My father who is a doctor loves me so much.
Uses of Hyphen (-) in the sentences:
26. We will use hyphen (-) in the compound words to express a complete sense.
Example :
•Good-hearted •Mother-in-law •Pick-me-up
27. We should use hyphens in the compound adjectives. Compound adjectives are generally formed as Adjective + Participle, Noun + Adjective or Noun + Participle.
