turnthriceFebruary 2018 This is a very good explanation of when to use commas:https://ed.ted.com/lessons/comma-story-terisa-folaron. Usually, the "but" is used as a conjunction (a word that connects two ideas in a sentence). Example: I have long hair, but I will need to cut it short soon. In these cases, the comma is coming before "but". This is proper grammar. I think it is good to be asking when to use the comma as it helps makes things more clear when you are writing. Commas can also change the meaning of a sentence. Good luck! |
Mohamad0018February 2018 Also, should I capitalize first letter after ";" or not? |
HyacinthGardenerFebruary 2018 It's not a big deal really. Most people are too lazy to add commas after "but". But yes, IMO I think you should add a comma after "but". Never capitalize after ";" unless it's a proper noun. |
