Rewrite the sentences below, inserting commas where they are needed. If no comma is needed, write "correct."
1. You won't be disappointed nor will you ever forget your visit.
My revision of this sentence is the following:
1. Correct.
This is a compound sentence. Where is a comma needed?
1. You won't be disappointed, nor will you ever forget your visit.
To determine if a comma is needed, it is important to understand the purpose of commas in sentence structure. Commas are commonly used to separate different parts of a sentence, such as independent clauses, items in a list, or introductory elements.
In the given sentence, "You won't be disappointed nor will you ever forget your visit," there is a coordinating conjunction "nor" used to connect two negative clauses. In this case, a comma is needed before "nor" to separate the two independent clauses. The revised sentence would be:
1. You won't be disappointed, nor will you ever forget your visit.
It is essential to recognize the need for a comma when connecting two independent clauses with coordinating conjunctions such as "nor," "and," "but," "or," "for," "yet," or "so." By placing a comma before the coordinating conjunction, it helps to clarify the separation between the two distinct ideas in the sentence.
