Write three sentences, each using a comma in a different way. Explain why the comma is needed in each sentence.(4 points)
make them short sentences
1. I went to the store, bought some bread, and returned home. In this sentence, the comma is needed after "store" to separate the different actions taken in series (going to the store, buying bread, returning home).
2. The cat, with its sleek, black fur, stealthily made its way across the room. Here, the commas are necessary to set off the descriptive phrase "with its sleek, black fur" which provides additional information about the cat.
3. Mary, my best friend, will be visiting us tomorrow. The commas are required to offset the appositive phrase "my best friend," which further identifies Mary.
