Hello there…

Mr. Allex;

HELLO THERE…
I come across a book that talks merely on technical writing. In the book, it was mentioned that when the writer wants to quate someone then he should use a colon.
As per this lesson, comma is used when we quate.
Please, advise for this and the one posted on june 17th 2009
I think it’s the same as the example 7.
I,Reynaldo,need to put more attention in class from Alex.In order to, improve faster.
Thank you,Mr Alex.
Very well the lesson, thanks for you do this!!
Thanks a lot for the interesting, nice, meaningful lesson. Personally, I learned a lot out of it.
Hi, Dear Alex
I can not express how greatfull i am to you for teaching us the most confused part of eglnish punctuation.
“One who does not thank people will not thank Allah-(God)”
thank allex,
Hi, all. I got 100% again! Alex, one question: Should we put comma between sentences if the independent one comes first?
According to the video, it’s no need to put comma if the independent one comes first.
As Anna noted, if the independent clause comes first, you do not need to place a comma between it and the dependent clause.
Thanks for the question, Alena20.

Hi,
Your lesson was excellent.
I’m a teacher of English. I was told to teach students to write something like this:
John is tall, dark and handsome.
According to you, in this lesson, we need another comma after “and”. I will take your word for it, but could you explain why there should/shouldn’t be a comma after “and” in sentences like this?
Thanks in advance 4 your answer.

I think you mean before and !!!
You must write a comma before (and) in this situation.

Hi Alex,
it is very very interesting lesson, hope you upload more on how to use puncuations, Chhoeun
I would like to clarify on the use of comma especially when you are stating a list of items or write a series of adjectives. Is there really a comma after the last adjective or before the linking word AND? For example: books, pencils, bags, and laptops.
I have observed that others wrote them without a comma after the last item or adjective or before the linking/conjunctio word AND.
Thank you!
Thank you Alex,your classes are very useful for me.Now, I can understand more how to use commas correctly.I will also help to teach other people how to use commas.Thank you.

Hi Alex;
That video is great.Could u please upload the video “would be”,”would have”,”would have been” tutorial on this forum.
Great video. This is much before than my text book. You explained it in a very simple term.
He’s teaching you all about grammar and punctuation. Looking at these comments, I suspect most of you didn’t pay attention. Lack of capitalization, lack of punctuation, and/or misplaced punctuation (specifically commas, which, proves my point) in almost every one.
Very simple and clear, thank you very much.
How about a lesson about comma splices and ran-ons?
hi Alex,
thank you very much , i never thought that comma we put it before(and) when there are two clauses
Dear Alex,
I do thank you for your simple and fruitfull explanation of using commas in English writing. Any way, I would appreciate it more if you go further byond these simple rules.
