Hello and welcome to another Isles writing video.

I open this video that we can go over some of the different ways that we should be employing commas in our task one and test two responses on the Isles exam.

If you find this video helpful, please visit my blawg at isles isles dot com.

I wanted to start today's video with the definition regarding what Akama is.

Com is a grammatical device that separates words, praises clauses.

Rules for common use differ between the US and the UK, and, as you know, on your eyelids examination, you can follow us or UK spelling and grammatical rules.

But it's important that you are consistent.

So if you start your essay, for example, spelling things the way a British person would spell them, and then if you start employing comma rules the way an American would, that would be a mistake.

So a few things to keep in mind are that dates are written differently between the UK and the US, So in the UK, the date today would be written 16 July 2012 verses in the U.

Where it would be written July 16 comma 2012.

So if I were writing the way a British person would write, I would write, I am going to the store to buy milk, comma eggs and cheese.

I'm going to the store to buy milk, comma, eggs, comma and cheese, and so that the American rule is that if you have three or more announcing the list that you put a comma before and and the final now, so a couple of small things to remember there commas and the rules regarding comma use are subject to a number of exceptions.

But in today's video, I would like to present to you the most common and widely accepted rules for comma use, and I hope that thes rules help improve your writing.

So let's start bye talking about when commas should be used.

So the 1st 1 that most people know is that commas are used in lists or when giving multiple adjectives or adverbs.

So when you're Eilts essay there may be an instance when you are giving an example or talking about that example, and you want to qualify that example.

So you want to share some adjectives to describe or to show to amplify certain points about the example that you're giving, and you may want to use multiple adjectives to do this.

So, for example, now this pretend this is in my Isles essay.

For example, Americans are often criticized for being impulsive, oops, impulsive, comma, indiscriminate, screaming it comma careless consumers.

So, for example, Americans are often criticized for being impulsive, comma, indiscriminate, comma, careless consumers.

Consumers is there now, so there is no common that goes before it and the last adjective in the list.

But as you can see after each adjective impulsive, indiscriminate, we include a comma.

Now, another instance, when we use commas is too separate independent clauses, uh, independent clauses, joined by a coordinating conjunction.

Now I know these maybe new terms for some of you, so let me just quickly explain what these are not nearly as complicated as they sound.

An independent clauses, simply a group of words that can that can stand alone as a sentence.

Okay, So if I had the phrase the other day, this is not an independent claws.

A coordinating conjunction is Avery fancy phrase describing just words that link two different ideas together and show the relationship between those ideas.

So these air words like and write some things down.

And but or, um, for okay, so they show a certain relationship between two ideas.

Now, if we were to join two ideas with and the relationship would be different than if we were to join them with.

But so when we have two independent clauses and when we join them with with a coordinated conjunction, we need to use a comma to separate the two independent clauses.

So if I were to write this, maybe this is the thesis of my of my essay.

So the city of Dubai is known for its role boats.

See advise, known for its role as a Middle Eastern import hub case.

Now let's put the 2nd 1 in here, and this is one of the reasons international companies gravitate to it.

Okay, Now, uh, these sorts of mistakes I see regularly in aisles essays that students submit to me online.

Here we have to clauses that could be their own sentence.

This is one of the reasons international companies gravitate to.

The city of Dubai is known for its role as a Middle Eastern import hub is also a sentence that can stand by itself.

And we've joined these two with the coordinating conjunction.

And now because we've done this, we have to use a comma.

Okay, as we have here now, I just want to point out something very quickly.

Sometimes students are curious when they see symbols like, um, like a semi colon.

And they wonder, when do I ever use a semi colon?

A semi colon Looks like this down at the bottom, so semi colons can be used instead of this combination.

So if I were to stick a semicolon here in here, this would be grammatically correct.

But the thing is that this is not the stylistic norm in English.

People would would typically Wright comma and and okay, now, commas, air also used to separate dependent clauses that come before independent clauses, so separate dependent clauses that come before independent clauses.

It's a group of words that can stand alone as a sentence.

A dependent clause is a group of words that cannot stand alone as a sentence.

So how do you know if what you're dealing with is a dependent clause?

Well dependent clauses usually not 100% of the time but usually begin with dependent words.

So dependent clauses usually begin with dependent words, for example, words like when after a while.

For as so, for example, if I said while he was at the store, she and then whatever so while he was at the store, that's not an independent clause.

It needs Maur information for it to be considered part of a full sentence.

This example could be perhaps the thesis of an essay.

So as it is widely known, that Canada it is an immigrant country coma, it is not surprising that Canadian cuisine it is quite he collected.

Okay, so now this sentence has an independent clause, which, as we were saying before, this is the part of the sentence that could stand by itself as its own sentence.

It is not surprising that Canadian cuisine is quite a collecting.

This is the part of the sentence that cannot stand as an independent sentence, as it is widely known that Canada is an immigrant country.

Now, when this comes before independent clause, we have to separate them with a comma.

Many would agree at Western ideological thought differs from Eastern Coma.

The two schools share numerous similarities.

While many would agree that Western island ideological thought differs from Eastern, the two schools share numerous similarities.

Here We have an independent clause, and here we have a dependent clause now is it pointed out, before dependent clauses can often be identified by the dependent word that they have at the beginning.

So if we took this dependent word away and we just had many would agree that Western biological thought differs from Eastern.

That is actually an independent clause by itself.

But because we have this word here, it's indicating to the reader that this is not a full and complete thought that there is something that this dependent clause is modifying.

This dependent clause is modifying or augmenting the independent clause that follows it.

Okay, so there's a comma that separates that, too.

And those of you taking the general exam may want to take note of this.

Now, those of you taking the academic exam don't stop watching yet.

We're gonna get to task one, uh, common use in a second.

So commas air used in letters two indicate direct address.

So, um, I'll give you an example in a second.
