Thank you
You're welcome.
The sentence written correctly is: "Joe Torres, my brother's friend, had a meeting with the principal."
To determine the correct sentence, we need to consider proper punctuation and clarity. Commas are used to separate elements in a sentence, and it is important to use them correctly.
In the first option, "Joe Torres my brother's friend had a meeting, with the principal," there is a missing comma after "Torres," which is necessary to separate the name and the description.
The second option, "Joe Torres my brother's friend, had a meeting, with the principal," has an extra comma after "friend," which disrupts the flow and is not necessary.
The third option, "Joe Torres, my brother's friend had a meeting with the principal," is missing a comma before "my brother's friend." This omission makes the sentence less clear, as it can be read as if "Joe Torres" and "my brother's friend" are separate individuals.
The correct option, the fourth one, "Joe Torres, my brother's friend, had a meeting with the principal," includes the necessary commas. It separates "Joe Torres" and "my brother's friend" with commas, making it clear that they refer to the same person. Additionally, it places a comma after "friend" to separate it from the rest of the sentence and to improve clarity.
