How is the comma used as an interrupter in this sentence?

Answer: Parenthetical expression

Explanation:

Parenthetical Expressions. The final use of a comma as an interrupter is to set off parenthetical expressions. A parenthetical expression interrupts the thought flow of a sentence. These expressions are not related to the rest of the sentence and could be put in parentheses. Parenthetical expressions are set off by commas to indicate to the reader their separation from the main thought of the sentence. This list contains many common parenthetical expressions:

if you ask me  as I said before  of course

for example  for instance  you know

I believe  naturally  as a matter of fact

in fact  in my opinion  by the way

Generally, it is best for a writer to use parenthetical expressions sparingly; when they are used, they should serve to qualify the information given.

Example:

Democracy, I believe, is by far the best of all world governments.

The qualifying expression "I believe" shows the reader that the writer's statement is an opinion, not necessarily a fact.

Example:

We will, of course, pay for the damage.

The expression "of course" cues the reader that the speaker had good intentions all along and that no other thought crossed his mind.

The parenthetical expression is important, but like any other expression it should be used with discretion.

Can someone pls make a poem that rhymes that is all im asking
boyakko [2]

Answer:

Life after death :

You only live once so sit back and enjoy

No time for sorrows so fill it up with joy

This way of thinking is totally wrong

Our total existence is forever long

Life is for eternity its stages are four

The first is in the womb, but hold on there's more

The second is from birth until the moment we die

The third takes place in the place where we lie

Barzakh is it's name until judgement day

The fourth is eternity and in heaven we pray!

The soul splits from the body at the time we die

Then with the angel of death, they both will fly

If the person is pious, the angel looks handsome And the wicked will wish, that they could ransom

For the pious, the soul is taken on a piece of silk Eventually, they're in heaven with rivers of milk

The evil person's soul is dragged out with pain Then they know, their life was in vain

When Allaah gives the order, the soul is returned

Either to a bed of paradise, or else to be burned

The soul is returned, while the family are grieving

And then he is questioned while his loved ones are leaving

At that time the person will be in such a state

He is asked three questions which determine his fate

He will be panicking, his heart...full of fear

When he sees the angels, Munkar and Nakeer

He will be asked about his God, religion and what did he say

About the person who appears in front of him that day,

That will be Muhammad (peace be upon him)..

who can save us from hell The pious will recognise him

But others won't tell

After answering rightly they are saved from the ordeal

Of the torments of the grave, which to us seem unreal

Their grave is extended and in peace they stay,

They will praise Allaah and continue to pray

A window of paradise is seen and they sleep in bliss

Whereas the unbelievers grave becomes hell's abyss

Creatures are let loose on their fronts and back

Their graves close in until their ribs will crack

They are in constant agony until judgement day

Nothing will help, it will be too late to pray

They will know because of themselves, their future is wrecked

But they won't have a clue what to further expect

For the believer, it passes like a good night's sleep

His good deeds have been done, the rewards he shall keep

Judgement day will pass like the time for a prayer

At the speed of light he crosses the bridge, thin as a hair And before he knows it, he is in paradise

Whereas the unbeliever, will be paying his price

This life is a journey, death isn't the end

Real life goes on, so don't just pretend

So prepare now, we're not here to stay...

Follow islam, the key is to pray

Brothers and sisters take this advice

I guarantee You'll be proud of yourself, when in paradise!

IN SHAA ALLAAH!!!
