comma |
A comma is a little mark (,) that we use in writing. A comma separates words or parts of a sentence and makes the sentence easier to understand when people read it. We also use commas to separate things in a list and when we write large numbers like one thousand (1,000) and one million (1,000,000). |
list1 |
When you list things, you write each item one after the other to make a list. Each thing is usually separated from the one before it by a line or by a comma. [1/2 definitions] |
