Study skills

When a sentence begins with a phrase, we use a comma. For example,

• For this, I travel extensively in rural areas.

• During my travels, I frequently stay in the houses of people I meet.
• In India, a guest is always treated with a lot of love, affection and respect.

• In 1998, I went to a village in South Canara for a school function.

We also use commas after yes, no or a title in a sentence. For example,

• ‘Madam, the chairman of this school is a fine gentleman.’

• ‘No, unfortunately I did not go to school.’

• ‘Yes, I know this school.’

• ‘Amma, I have earned so much wealth.’

Now, add commas wherever necessary.

2. If you are ill you ought to see a doctor.

3. Mom I can’t find my shoes.

4. Well he meant no harm to you.

5. Yes the package should arrive tomorrow morning.
