Comma Practice


Commas!
Place commas where they are needed in the following sentences.  Some sentences need commas and others do not. 
Add your commas like this:  We’ll do SAGE testing on Wednesday, May 7, 2014, and we’ll test again on Friday, May 9, 2014. 





Cumulative or Coordinate?

Last Saturday, we went to the old drive-in movie theater.  (Comma is optional.)









We watched about half of an entertaining, exciting, thought-provoking movie.







Commas in a Series?

Jerry went to the snack bar and came back with popcorn, hot dogs, and drinks.







Sammy had already brought Snickers and Skittles.







Commas with Conjunctions?

Suzie got sick, and she ran to the restroom.







Since Suzie was ill, we had to go home early.







I’ll go back next weekend because I really want to see the rest of the movie.








Commas with direct address?

Grandma, let’s eat.







Let’s eat, Grandma!
