"Should I use a comma or not?

Are you comfortable with commas? I'm not exactly saying no, but I'm not saying yes either. I love these punctuation tadpoles. And so enthusiastically that sometimes I put them where they don’t belong, saying that good text You can't mess it up with commas. But sometimes... when the house smells of notebooks freshly prepared for the first of September, I am overcome with a strong desire to restore justice and learn once and for all in which cases a comma is used and in which it is not.
That’s what I’ll do today, working off my piece of cake bought for Knowledge Day.


« Besides" - ALWAYS separated by commas (both at the beginning and in the middle of a sentence).

« More likely” in the meaning “very likely, most likely” - is separated by commas (Of course, it’s all because of the cognac and the steam room, otherwise he would most likely have remained silent.).
In the meaning of “quickest” - NO (This is the most likely way to get to the house.).

« Quicker" If it means “better, more willingly”, then WITHOUT commas. For example: " She would rather die than betray him" Also WITHOUT commas, if it means “better to say.” For example: " making some remark or rather an exclamation».
BUT! A comma is needed if introductory word, expressing the author’s assessment of the degree of reliability of a given statement in relation to the previous one (in the meaning of “most likely” or “most likely”). For example: " It can't be called smart person- rather, he is on his own mind».

« Of course», « Certainly» - the word is NOT separated by commas Certainly at the beginning of the response, pronounced in a tone of confidence, conviction: Of course it is!
In other cases, a comma is REQUIRED.

Expressions " All in all», « in general"SEPARATED in the meaning of "in short, in a word", then they are introductory.

« First of all" are isolated as introductory in the meaning "firstly" ( First of all, he is quite a capable person).
These words do NOT stand out in the meaning of “first, first” ( First of all, you need to contact a specialist).

Comma after " A», « But", etc. NOT needed: " But first of all, I want to say».

When clarifying, the entire turnover is highlighted: “ There is hope that these proposals, primarily from the Ministry of Finance, will not be accepted or will be changed».

« at least», « at least" - are isolated only during inversion: " ».

« in turn" - is not separated by a comma in the meaning "for its part", " in response when it was their turn" And the quality of introductory ones is isolated.

« literally" - not introductory, not separated by commas

« Hence" If the meaning is “therefore, therefore, it means,” then commas are needed.
For example: " So you are therefore our neighbors».

BUT! If it means “therefore, as a result of this, based on the fact that,” then the comma is needed only on the left. For example: " I found a job, so we will have more money»;
« You are angry, therefore you are wrong”;
"You can't bake a cake, so I'll bake it."
».

« At least" If it means “the least”, then without commas.
For example: " At least I'll wash the dishes»;
« He made at least a dozen mistakes».
BUT! If in the meaning of comparison with something, emotional assessment, then with a comma.
For example: " At a minimum, this approach involves control»,
« To do this you need, at a minimum, to understand politics.».

« that is, if», « especially if" - a comma is usually not needed

« That is" is not an introductory word and is not separated by commas on both sides.
This is a conjunction, a comma is placed before it (and if in some contexts a comma is placed after it, then for other reasons: for example, to highlight a certain separate structure or subordinate clause that come after it).
For example: " There are still five kilometers to the station, that is, an hour's walk" (no comma needed)
« There are still five kilometers to the station, that is, if you walk slowly, an hour’s walk(a comma after “that is” is placed to highlight the subordinate clause “ if you go slowly»).

« Anyway" are separated by commas as introductory words if they are used to mean "at least".

« In addition», « besides this», « besides everything(other)", " besides everything(other)” are isolated as introductory.
BUT! “Besides that” is a conjunction, a comma is NOT needed. For example: " Besides the fact that he doesn’t do anything himself, he also makes claims against me».

« Thanks to this», « thanks to that», « thanks to this" And " along with that" - a comma is usually not required. Segregation is optional. The presence of a comma is not an error.

« Especially" - WITHOUT a comma.

« Especially when», « especially since», « especially if"etc. - a comma is needed before “even more so.” For example: " Such arguments are hardly needed, especially since this is a false statement»,
« especially if you mean»,
« relax, especially since there is a lot of work waiting for you»,
« You shouldn’t sit at home, especially if your partner invites you to dance».

« Moreover" - is highlighted with a comma only in the middle of the sentence (on the left).

« Nevertheless" - a comma is placed in the middle of the sentence (on the left).
For example: " He has decided everything, however, I will try to convince him».
BUT! If " but nevertheless», « if nevertheless", etc., then commas are NOT needed.

If " however” in the meaning of “but”, then the comma on the right side is NOT placed.
(An exception is if this is an interjection. For example: “ However, what a wind!»)

« In the end" - if in the meaning "in the end", then the comma is NOT placed.

« Really» is NOT separated by commas in the meaning of “in fact” (that is, if this is a circumstance expressed by an adverb), if it is synonymous with the adjective “real” - “real, genuine”.
For example: " Its bark itself is thin, not like oak or pine, which are really not afraid of the hot rays of the sun»; « You are really very tired».

“Indeed” can act as an introductory and SEPARATE. The introductory word is characterized by intonation isolation - it expresses the speaker’s confidence in the truth of the reported fact. In controversial cases, the author of the text decides on the placement of punctuation marks.

« Due to the fact that" - a comma is NOT needed if it is a conjunction, that is, if it can be replaced with “because.” For example: " He was medically tested as a child because he fought in Vietnam.»,
« maybe it’s all because I love it when a person sings"(a comma is needed because it cannot be replaced with “because”).

« One way or another" A comma is needed if the meaning is “be that as it may.” Then this is introductory. For example: " She knew that, one way or another, she would tell Anna everything».
BUT! The adverbial expression “one way or another” (the same as “in one way or another” or “in any case”) does NOT require punctuation. For example: " War is necessary one way or another».

A comma is NOT placed at the beginning of a sentence:

“Before... I found myself...”
"Since…"
"Before..."
“Even though...”
"As…"
"In order to..."
"Instead of..."
“Actually...”
"While…"
“Especially since...”
"Nevertheless…"
“Despite the fact that...” (at the same time - separately); There is NO comma before “what”.
"In case..."
"After…"
“And...”

« Finally" in the meaning of "finally" - is NOT separated by commas.

« And this despite the fact that..."- a comma is ALWAYS placed in the middle of a sentence!

« Based on this,..."- a comma is placed at the beginning of the sentence. BUT: “He did this based on...” - a comma is NOT placed.

« After all, if... then..." - a comma is NOT placed before "if", since the second part of the double conjunction - "then" - comes next. If there is no “then”, then a comma is placed before “if”!

« Less than two years..." - a comma is NOT placed before “what”, because This is NOT a comparison.

Comma before " HOW" is placed only in case of comparison.
« Politicians such as Ivanov, Petrov, Sidorov..." - a comma is placed, because there is a noun "policy".
BUT: " ... politicians such as Ivanov, Petrov, Sidorov..." - there is NO comma before "how".

Commas are NOT used:
« God willing», « God forbid», « for god's sake» - is not separated by commas, + the word “god” is written with a small letter.

BUT: commas are placed in both directions:
« God bless" in the middle of a sentence is highlighted with commas on both sides (the word "God" in this case is written with capital letters) + at the beginning of a sentence - is highlighted by a comma (on the right side).

« By God" - in these cases, commas are placed on both sides (the word “god” in this case is written with a small letter).

« My God» - separated by commas on both sides; in the middle of the sentence, “God” - with a small letter.

If the introductory word can be omitted or rearranged to another place in the sentence without disturbing its structure (usually this happens with conjunctions “and” and “but”), then the conjunction is not included in the introductory construction - a comma is NEEDED. For example: " Firstly, it became dark, and secondly, everyone was tired».

If the introductory word cannot be removed or rearranged, then a comma is NOT placed after the conjunction (usually with the conjunction “a”). For example: " She simply forgot about this fact, or maybe she never remembered it»,
"...and therefore..."
"...or maybe..."
“..., which means...”

If the introductory word can be removed or rearranged, then a comma is NEEDED after the conjunction “a”, since it is not associated with the introductory word, i.e., welded combinations like “and therefore”, “and however”, “and therefore” are not formed. or maybe”, etc. For example: “ She not only didn’t love him, but maybe even despised him.».

If at the beginning of a sentence there is coordinating conjunction(in the connecting meaning) (“and”, “yes” in the meaning of “and”, “too”, “also”, “and that”, “and that”, “yes and”, “and also”, etc.) , and then an introductory word, then a comma in front of it is NOT needed.
For example: " And really, you shouldn't have done that.»;
« And perhaps we should have done something differently»;
« And finally, the action of the play is ordered and divided into acts»;
« In addition, other circumstances emerged»;
« But of course, everything ended well».

It happens rarely: if at the beginning of a sentence there is a connecting conjunction, and introductory construction stands out intonationally, then commas are NEEDED. For example: " But, to my great chagrin, Shvabrin decisively announced...»; « And, as usual, they remembered only one good thing».

If the introductory word can be omitted or rearranged to another place in the sentence without disturbing its structure (usually this happens with conjunctions “and” and “but”), then the conjunction is not included in the introductory construction - a comma needed.

For example: “Firstly, it became dark, and, secondly, everyone was tired.”

If the introductory word cannot be removed or rearranged, then a comma after the conjunction (usually with the conjunction “a”) not placed.

For example: “She simply forgot about this fact, or maybe she never remembered it,” “..., and therefore, …”, “..., and maybe …”, “..., and therefore, …”.

If the introductory word can be removed or rearranged, then a comma needed after the conjunction “a”, since it is not associated with the introductory word.

For example: “She not only didn’t love him, but maybe even despised him.”

If at the beginning of the sentence there is a coordinating conjunction (in the connecting meaning) (“and”, “yes” in the meaning of “and”, “too”, “also”, “and that”, “and that”, “yes and”, “ and also”, etc.), and then an introductory word, then a comma before it not needed.

For example: “And really, you shouldn’t have done that”; “And perhaps it was necessary to do something differently”; “And finally, the action of the play is ordered and divided into acts”; “Besides, other circumstances have come to light”; “But of course, everything ended well.”

Happens rarely: if at the beginning of a sentence worth the connecting union, A the introductory construction stands out intonationally, then commas are NEEDED.

For example: “But, to my great chagrin, Shvabrin decisively announced...”; “And, as usual, they remembered only one good thing.”

A comma is NOT placed at the beginning of a sentence:

“Before... I found myself...”

"Since…"

"Before..."

“Even though...”

"As…"

"In order to..."

"Instead of..."

“Actually...”

"While…"

“Especially since...”

"Nevertheless…"

“Despite the fact that...” (at the same time - separately); There is NO comma before “what”.

"In case..."

“And...”

« Finally" in the meaning of "finally" - is not separated by commas.

« And this despite the fact that..."- a comma is always placed in the middle of a sentence!

« Based on this,..."- a comma is placed at the beginning of the sentence.

BUT: “He did this based on...” - no comma is used.

« After all, if... then..." - a comma is not placed before "if", since the second part of the double conjunction - "then" - comes next. If there is no “then”, then a comma is placed before “if”!

« Less than two years..." - a comma is not placed before “what”, because this is not a comparison.

Comma before "How" is put only in case of comparison.

« Politicians like Ivanov, Petrov, Sidorov...” - a comma is added because there is a noun "policy".

BUT: "… policies such as Ivanov, Petrov, Sidorov…” - there is no comma before “how”.

Commas are not used:

“God forbid”, “God forbid”, “for God’s sake”- not separated by commas, + the word “god” is written with a small letter.

BUT: commas are placed in both directions:

"God bless" in the middle of the sentence it is highlighted with commas on both sides (the word “God” in this case is written with a capital letter) + at the beginning of the sentence - it is highlighted with a comma (on the right side).

"By God"- in these cases, commas are placed on both sides (the word “god” in this case is written with a small letter).

"My God"- separated by commas on both sides; in the middle of the sentence, “God” - with a small letter.

To determine whether a comma “in case” is needed, let’s try to figure out what this construction is from the point of view of the Russian language. The phrase “in case” in question is a subordinating conjunction of a compound type, which can be written separated by a comma or without it. That is, it can be part of the main and subordinate clauses or only subordinate clauses. According to Russian-language rules, a comma is placed before “if” in the following situations:

1) when the construction is preceded by a negative particle “not”. Here are some examples of sentences.

We will buy a new apartment to improve our living conditions if we have money, but not if we are not given a mortgage loan.
She liked to go to a cafe every day, but not if she didn’t have money.

2) when the construction is preceded by restrictive, reinforcing and other kinds of particles, introductory words or adverbs. Here are some examples of sentences:

I'll go to trip around the world certainly if I collect the required amount of money. (certainly - adverb)
I can climb to the top of this mountain only if I have strength and health. (particle - only)
Masha will go to the village, probably, if her grandmother meets her from the train. (introductory word - probably)

3) when “in case” is part of a homogeneous member of a sentence or similar configuration. Example sentence:

Airplanes do not fly to other destinations during thunderstorms or when there is heavy snowfall. (similar members (circumstances) - during a thunderstorm and in the event)

Grandma will bake pies, pancakes and cake if her grandchildren and their parents come.

If the union subordinating form"in case" is only part subordinate clause, then it is written without a comma. Consider the cases:

1) if the subordinate clause with this conjunction is located before the main one. Example sentences:

If we go mushroom hunting, we must treat our clothes with anti-tick product.
If this contractor fails to fulfill its obligations, the city administration will refuse to cooperate with him.

2) if the subordinate clause with this conjunction is inside the main sentence. Example sentences:

The driver Mikhail, if he is not sick, will be able to go on a business trip to Nizhny Novgorod.
The Kazel Instrumental Orchestra, if it becomes the winner of the competition, will be able to go on an international tour.

3) if the subordinate clause with this conjunction comes after the main one:

Masha will go to the store to buy sausage if all the invited guests agree to spend the New Year with her.
