Question

Which sentence is punctuated correctly? A. The teacher—bright and cheery, greeted each of her students at the door every morning. B. The teacher, bright and cheery, greeted each of her students at the door every morning. C. The teacher bright and cheery—greeted each of her students at the door every morning. D. The teacher bright and cheery; greeted each of her students at the door every morning.

Answer 1

B. The teacher (stating who made the comment so add comma), bright and cheery (add comma since it’s a run on and you could take this part out), greeted each of her students at the door every morning. (Finishes sentence with no more abruptions so no more commas needed)


* COMMAS ARE MAINLY USED FOR BREAKS/SLIGHT PAUSES IN A SENTENCE. THE PLACE YOU’D TAKE A BREATH IS MOST OFTEN THE PLACE YOU NEED A COMMA.* hope this helped :)
