Using commas
They planned the see the men's, women's, and doubles' finals.
Fergas won the entire tournament, and he became the youngest champion in the history of the tournament.
Do you mean "to see"?
If so, the commas are all correct.
In the sentence "They planned the see the men's, women's, and doubles' finals," commas are used to separate items in a series or list. Since you are referring to multiple finals (men's, women's, and doubles'), each category is separated by a comma to make it clear that they are separate entities within the sentence.
To determine where to place commas in a sentence like this, follow these steps:
1. Identify the items that you want to list or group together. In this case, it is the finals categories: men's, women's, and doubles'.
2. Put a comma after each item to separate them. So, it becomes "men's, women's, and doubles'."
Now let's look at the second sentence: "Fergas won the entire tournament, and he became the youngest champion in the history of the tournament."
In this sentence, a comma is used to connect two independent clauses (complete thoughts) that are related to each other. The comma before "and" helps to create a pause and indicate that a new thought is starting. It separates the two complete ideas: "Fergas won the entire tournament" and "he became the youngest champion in the history of the tournament."
To use commas correctly when connecting independent clauses, follow these steps:
1. Identify the two independent clauses.
2. Place a comma before the coordinating conjunction (in this case, "and") that connects the clauses.
By following these steps, you can effectively use commas to enhance the clarity and organization of your sentences.
