Comma Practice Worksheet - Add Commas to Addresses and Paragraphs

Here are the corrected addresses and paragraph with commas added where needed.

Part 1: Addresses

Rule to remember:
1. Put a comma between the city and the state (e.g., *Annapolis, MD*).
2. If there is a street address or apartment number before the city, put a comma after it (e.g., *Apt. 7, Bismarck*).
3. If the address ends with a zip code, do not put a comma after the state.

Part 2: Paragraph

Corrected Paragraph:

I once had a friend who lived at 67 Lincoln Street, Charleston, West Virginia 23091, but he moved to Jackson, Mississippi. I think later he moved to Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, but I am not exactly sure of the street or zip code. My grandmother lives in Oklahoma, and her name and address are Lonnie Hill, 108 Western Avenue, Apartment 16, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma 29018.

Breakdown of changes:
* ...Lincoln Street, Charleston, West Virginia 23091,... → Added comma after Street (end of line 1) and after Charleston (City). No comma after Virginia because the zip code follows. Added comma after 23091 because the sentence continues with "but".
* ...Jackson, Mississippi. → Added comma between City and State.
* ...Oklahoma City, Oklahoma,... → Added comma between City and State. Added comma after Oklahoma because the sentence continues with "but".
* ...Lonnie Hill, 108 Western Avenue, Apartment 16, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma 29018. → Added comma after Name (Hill), after Street (Avenue), and after Apartment number (16). Added comma between City (Oklahoma City) and State (Oklahoma). No comma after the final State because it ends the sentence/address block.
