Using Commas In a Series

By Grant Savage

Use commas to separate three or more words, phrases, or clauses in a series.

​When to use a comma!	​Example:
​Series of Words	​The items on the list of school supplies included four three-ring binders, three spiral notebooks, book covers, pencils, pens, and markers.
​Series of Phrases	​The note my mother left said to sweep the floor, to take in the mail, to start dinner, and to call her whenever I finish.
​Series of Clauses	​In my college interview, I stated that I was excited to attend the school, that I was on high honor roll each year, and that I was president of the senior class.
