Grammar Rules

Actually, they are comma rules that help with grammar.

Independent
Dependent

Independent vs Dependent Clauses

An independent clause can stand as its own complete sentence.

A dependent clause needs the help of an independent clause to become a complete sentence.

Next

Only use a comma between two independent clauses with the help of a coordinating conjunction.

Rule #1

We organized the study group, we redistributed the work more evenly.

We organized the study group, and we redistributed the work more evenly.

Next

Restrictive
Non-Restrictive

Restrictive vs Non-Restrictive Clauses

A restrictive clause cannot be removed from the sentence without changing its meaning.

A non-restrictive clause can be removed from the sentence without changing its meaning. It might change the amount of information, but not the meaning.

Next

Use commas around non-restrictive clauses.

Rule #2

Our new factory, which began operations last month, is scheduled to increase production by 45%.

The Hubble telescope, intended to answer the fundamental questions about the origin of the universe, is located in space.

Next

Don't use commas around restrictive clauses.

Rule #3

Please disregard the notice, you recently received from us.

The airplanes, that were flown in the Gulf War, were extremely sophisticated.

Next

Use commas to separate items in a list. The Oxford comma is necessary for sentence clarity!

Rule #4

We defeated the giants, Bellatrix, and Voldemort.

It's not grammatically incorrect, but it changes the meaning of the sentence.

We defeated the giants, Bellatrix and Voldemort.

How to Fake it 'Til You Make It

Figure out what you do know and do that instead. Questioning if a sentence is grammatically correct? Assume it is not and re-write it in a way you know is correct.
