关于逗号的使用:
Compound Sentence Commas 1. Skim your paper, looking only for the seven coordinating conjunctions:and, nor, but, so, for, or, and yet. 2. Stop at each of these words to see whether there is an independent clause (a complete sentence), on both sides of it. (For more help, see our handout on independent clauses.) 3. If so, place a comma before the coordinating conjunction. Examples: She wanted to buy a new car, but she didn't have enough money to do so.
The wind blew fiercely, and the rain poured down.
Alaska was not the last state admitted into the US, nor does it have the lowest total population. Comma Splices 1. Skim your paper, stopping at every comma. 2. See whether you have an independent clause (a sentence) on both sides of the comma. 3. If so, change the sentence in one of the following ways: - reword the sentence to change one clause into a subordinate (or dependent) clause (see our handout on dependent clauses)
- add a coordinating conjunction after the comma
- replace the comma with a semicolon
- replace the comma with a period, question mark, or exclamation point, and capitalize the first word of the second clause
comma splice: Americans speak too rapidly, this is a common complaint by foreign visitors.
correct: Americans speak too rapidly; this is a common complaint by foreign visitors.
correct: Foreign visitors commonly complain that Americans speak too rapidly. Introductory Commas Introductory commas after dependent clauses 1. Skim your paper, looking only at the first two or three words of each sentence.
2. Stop if one of these words is a dependent marker such as while, because, when, if, after, when, etc. (see our Commas After Introductions). 3. If necessary, place a comma at the end of the introductory dependent clause. Examples: While I was writing, the phone rang.
Because the weather was bad, we decided to cancel our planned picnic.
After the last guests left the party, we had to begin cleaning the house. Other introductory commas 1. Skim your paper, looking only at the first word or two of each sentence. 2. Stop if the word or phrase . . . ·ends in -ing ·is an infinitive (to + verb) ·is an introductory word (well, yes, moreover, etc.) 3. Place a comma at the end of the introductory phrase. Examples: To get a good grade, you must turn in all your homework problems.
Walking to work, Jim stopped for coffee at the diner.
Yes, I agree that the exam was difficult. 4. If the sentence begins with a prepositional phrase (a phrase beginning with in, at, on, between, with, etc.), place a comma after the prepositional phrase if it is longer than three words or suggests a distinct pause before the main clause. Examples: On his way to work, Jim stopped for coffee at the diner.
In those days we wrote with a pen and paper.
Across the street from the library, an old man waited for a bus. Disruptive Commas General guidelines 1. Go through the paper, stopping at each comma. 2. If the comma isn't necessary for clarity or called for by a rule, get rid of it. For disruptive commas between compound verbs or objects 1. Skim your paper, stopping only at the coordinating conjunctions: and, or, nor, but, so, for, or, and yet. 2. Check to see whether there is an independent clause (sentence) on both sides of the conjunction. If so, place a comma before the conjunction. If not, do not place a comma before the conjunction. disruptive comma: They bought two pizzas, but ate only one.
correct: They bought two pizzas but ate only one. For disruptive commas between subjects and verbs 1. Find the subject and verb in each of your sentences. 2. Make sure that you have not separated the subject from the verb with one comma. It's often all right to have a pair of commas between a subject and verb for nonessential clauses and phrases that might be added there, but rarely is a single comma acceptable. disruptive comma: That man sitting in the train station, is the person I'm supposed to meet. correct: That man sitting in the train station is the person I'm supposed to meet. Series Commas 1. Skim your paper, stopping at the conjunctions. 2. Check to see if these conjunctions link words, phrases, or clauses written in a series. 3. If so, place commas after each word, phrase, or clause in the series (except the last one, as demonstrated in this sentence: no comma after the word clause). Examples: People who are trying to reduce saturated fat in their diets should avoid eggs, meat, and tropical oils.
The candidate promised to lower taxes, protect the environment, reduce crime, and end unemployment. Commas with Nonessential Elements 1. Skim your paper, looking for a phrase or clause in each sentence that explains or gives more information about a word or phrase that comes before it. (See also our handout, Commas With Nonessential Elements.) 2. If you can delete the phrase or clause and still keep the meaning, the phrase or clause is probably nonessential and needs two commas, one before and one after (unless the phrase or clause is at the end of the sentence).
3. As an alternate test for a nonessential phrase or clause, try saying "by the way" before it. If that seems appropriate to the meaning, the phrase or clause is probably nonessential. To understand the essential vs. nonessential distinction, compare the following sentences. In the first, the clause who cheat is essential; in the second, the clause who often cheats is nonessential. Students who cheat only harm themselves.
Fred, who often cheats, is just harming himself. 关于proofreading的建议,贴出米饭的翻译,谢谢啦,啦啦啦~~~~~ Proofreading的建议:
休息下先 修改要有充足时间 大声读 找别人改 角色互换把自己当读者
找出自己常犯的典型错误 找出原因坚决避免
Always remember to make note of what errors you make frequently—this will help you proofread more efficiently in the future!
拼写:逐字检查,不要依赖电脑的自动纠错,还可以大声读出来
句子:检查主谓是否完整,从句是否写成了独立句式,注意单复数
顺便提一哈~啊,这个建议以后筒子们把作文丢上来之前一定把这些基本错误自己认真改一哈,既提高你的作文质量又不浪费改的童鞋的时间,最主要的是改作文老碰到这种错误卡壳,难受不说还影响对你文章的理解和逻辑分析~再次提醒一哈昂~
自己觉得很有用的地方: 1.Sometimes, it is just as effective (or even more so) to simply break the sentence into separate sentences instead of including punctuation to separate the clauses. 2.If there are two main clauses, they should be connected with a comma and a conjunction like and, but, for, or, so, yet. 或者直接加一个分号 3.主谓一致要小心才行呢 4.Pronoun Reference/Agreement ·Skim your paper, stopping at each pronoun. ·Search for the noun that the pronoun replaces. ·If you can't find any noun, insert one beforehand or change the pronoun to a noun. ·If you can find a noun, be sure it agrees in number and person with your pronoun. 5.Apostrophes 我有种感觉就是是不是能不用就不用呢,这样可以避免错误,我在看新4的时候,发现他们不用don't,直接用do not,奇怪 ·Skim your paper, stopping only at those words which end in "s." If the "s" is used to indicate possession, there should be an apostrophe, as in Mary's book. ·Look over the contractions, like you're for you are, it's for it is, etc. Each of these should include an apostrophe. ·Remember that apostrophes are not used to make words plural. When making a word plural, only an "s" is added, not an apostrophe and an "s." Two Principles ·Begin sentences with short, simple words and phrases that a) communicate information that appeared in previous sentences, or b) build on knowledge that you share with your reader. ·In a paragraph, keep your topics short and reasonably consistent. Exercise: Diagnosis, Analysis, Revision 我觉得这条很重要:Put most of the subjects at the beginning of your sentences. Avoid hiding your topic by opening sentences with long introductory clauses or phrases..
Questions to Ask Yourself as You Revise Sentences
Do your sentences "hang together?" 1.Readers must feel that they move easily from one sentence to the next, that each sentence "coheres" with the one before and after it. 2.Readers must feel that sentences in a paragraph are not just individually clear, but are unified with each other.
Does the sentence begin with information familiar to the reader?
Does the sentence end with interesting information the reader would not anticipate?
Paragraphs
休息一段时间,再来看看自己的文章,再来改 If you think something is wrong, you should make a note of it, even if you don't know how to fix it.
