1. 逗点用于分隔一系列的简单内容,如:I will go to Shanghai, Beijing, and Shenzhen.
2. 逗点用于修饰名词的多个形容词之间,如:a small, fancy bike
3. 逗点用于连接两个较长的独立子句,而且每个句子的主语不同,如:The Grizzlies were out of timeouts, and Miller missed a desperation 3-pointer as time expired.
4. 逗点用于关联的子句之间,如:Since he's your younger brother, please take care of him.
5. 逗点用于一个较长的修饰短语之后,如:In the middle of the coldest winter on record, the pipes froze.
6. 逗点用于直接引用的句子之前,如 Mary said, "Let's go fishing."(注意:这里说的和上面提及的冒号在直接引语中的使用不一样。如果是引用比较正式的发言讲话就要用冒号,一般情况下就用逗点。)
如果句中含有间接引用就不需要逗点,如:Mary said we should go fishing.
在反问句之前要使用逗点,如:He worked very hard, didn't he?
