use a comma after introducttry elements in a sentence...can you give me an example if that kind of sentence??
I'll give you more than one:
Introductory adverbial clause --
When we finished eating dinner, my brother and I cleared the table and did the dishes.
Introductory phrase --
On June 26, 2000, my college roommate got married.

Certainly! When using introductory elements in a sentence, it can be appropriate to use a comma after them. Here's an example sentence where a comma is used after an introductory element:
- "After finishing his work, John went for a walk in the park."
In this sentence, "After finishing his work" is the introductory element. By using a comma after the introductory element, it helps to separate it from the main part of the sentence.
