Write three sentences, each using a comma in a different way. Explain why the comma is needed in each sentence.(4 points) l
1) I enjoy hiking, running, swimming, and cycling in the outdoors. In this sentence, the comma is used to separate items in a list. It helps clarify the different activities being mentioned and makes the sentence easier to read and understand.
2) Having finished his work, he decided to go for a walk. Here, the comma is used to offset a dependent clause at the beginning of the sentence. It helps indicate that the phrase "Having finished his work" is not crucial to the main sentence but provides additional information about the subject.
3) The concert, which was held in a beautiful park, drew a large crowd. In this sentence, the comma is used to set off a nonrestrictive clause or a parenthetical phrase that can be omitted without changing the meaning of the main sentence. It provides additional information about the concert without altering the main message that it drew a large crowd.
