Welcome to Book 7: Commas, a book that teaches how comma rules and stylish sentence structure go hand-in-hand.

In this book we study only those comma rules that relate to sentence construction.

Our six comma rules:

1. Introductory
2. Medial
3. Terminal
4. Items in a Series
5. Two Adjectives
6. Compound Sentences

To use any of these six comma rules, we first need to learn how to create sentences that call for one or more of the six comma rules listed above. For example, to apply rules 1-3, we need to understand what it means to add words, phrases, or clauses to base sentences. Because of this, much of what this book teaches about comma placement is really the teaching of sentence structure.

As we move beyond the foundational lessons of the book, our sentences grow more sophisticated as we learn how to construct sentences that require multiple comma rules within the same sentence.
