ℹ️ PUNCTUATION
The number one problem for learners is using commas. Here is a list of how and when to use them:
〰️ Use commas to separate items in a series:
• I saw a cat, a mouse, and a bird when I was walking.
〰️ Use a comma after introductory adverbs:
• Surprisingly, I saw a cat when I was walking.
〰️ Use a comma before all coordinating conjunction (and, but, for, or, nor, so, yet) which links two independent clauses:
• I went walking, and I saw a cat.
〰️ Use a comma after a dependent clause starts a sentence:
• When I was walking, I saw a cat.
〰️ Use commas to offset appositives from the rest of the sentence:
• While I was walking, I saw a calico, a type of cat.
〰️ Use a comma for attributing quotes:
• The walker said, “I saw a cat.”
〰️ Use a comma between two adjectives that modify the same noun:
• I saw a small, cute cat when I was walking.
P.S: There are more rules for commas, but these rules rarely apply to IELTS task 2.
