Grammar: Punctuation Marks.

 

Content: Commas Around Inserted Works.

Example

And what apart from the honour of being entertained by my family do you seek here today? Notice the two commas. They separate off the words underlined above and show that the basic sentence is: And what do you seek here today? The comma shows that the words underlined are not part of this basic sentence. It is as if they have been added in or inserted.

Here is another example: we have heard that you have a daughter, unmarried, who is chaste, beautiful and obedient. It is as if unmarried had been inserted as an extra word.
