Printable worksheet designed to teach proper comma usage in English grammar.

Let’s go step by step through each sentence and decide where commas are needed — based on the rules given at the top of the page.

We’ll use these key comma rules from the worksheet:
1. Use a comma after an introductory word or phrase (like “Yes,” “No,” “Well,” “After school,” etc.).
2. Use a comma before conjunctions like *and*, *but*, *or* when they join two complete sentences.
3. Use commas to separate items in a list (at least 3 things).
4. Use a comma after someone’s name when you’re talking directly to them.
5. Use a comma before quotes if the quote comes after the speaker tag.
6. Use a comma between city and state, and between day and date.

Now let’s fix each sentence:

---

1. Yes I would love to come to your party.

→ “Yes” is an introductory word → needs a comma after it.
✔ Corrected: Yes, I would love to come to your party.

---

2. My friend who lives next door has a new puppy.

→ This is NOT two complete sentences joined by “who.” It’s one sentence with extra info (“who lives next door”) that describes “my friend.” No comma needed here because it’s essential info (we need to know which friend).
✔ Already correct: My friend who lives next door has a new puppy.

*(Note: If it were non-essential info, we’d use commas — but this is essential.)*

---

3. The weather today is sunny warm and windy.

→ List of 3 adjectives describing the weather → need commas between them.
✔ Corrected: The weather today is sunny, warm, and windy.

*(Some styles omit the last comma — “Oxford comma” — but since the worksheet shows examples using it, we’ll include it.)*

---

4. After school I like to play soccer with my friends.

→ “After school” is an introductory phrase → needs a comma after it.
✔ Corrected: After school, I like to play soccer with my friends.

---

5. Do you want pizza or do you want tacos?

→ Two complete questions joined by “or” → should have a comma before “or”? Wait — actually, for short parallel questions like this, many style guides say no comma is needed. But looking at Rule #2 on the sheet: “Use a comma before ‘and,’ ‘but,’ or ‘or’ when joining two complete sentences.”

Both parts are complete sentences:
- “Do you want pizza?”
- “Do you want tacos?”

So yes — technically, a comma before “or” is correct per the rule shown.
✔ Corrected: Do you want pizza, or do you want tacos?

*(But note: In real life, people often skip this comma in short questions. Since the worksheet teaches to use it, we will too.)*

6. Sarah please bring me the book from the shelf.

→ Talking directly to Sarah → need a comma after her name.
✔ Corrected: Sarah, please bring me the book from the shelf.

---

7. I bought apples bananas oranges and grapes at the store.

→ List of 4 fruits → need commas between each item.
✔ Corrected: I bought apples, bananas, oranges, and grapes at the store.

---

8. He said "I will be there soon."

→ Quote comes after the speaker tag → need a comma before the quote. Also, the period goes inside the quotation marks.
✔ Corrected: He said, "I will be there soon."

---

9. We went to Paris France last summer.

→ City and state/country → need a comma between city and country.
✔ Corrected: We went to Paris, France last summer.

Wait — actually, standard rule is: City, State/Country, then continue. So:
✔ Better correction: We went to Paris, France, last summer.
*(Comma after “France” because “last summer” is additional info — though some might argue it’s not necessary. But following strict punctuation rules, we add it.)*

Actually, let’s check common usage:
“Paris, France” is treated as a unit, so if “last summer” follows, we usually put a comma after “France” only if it’s part of a larger clause. But in simple cases like this, many accept:
We went to Paris, France last summer. — without second comma.

However, according to formal grammar (and likely what the worksheet expects), when you have [City], [Country] followed by more info, you treat [City, Country] as an interrupter → so commas around it? Not exactly.

Actually, better way: Think of “Paris, France” as a single location unit. You don’t need a comma after “France” unless the sentence continues with another independent clause. Here, “last summer” is just time — so probably no second comma.

BUT — looking back at the worksheet example:
> “On Monday, June 5, we had a test.” → comma after both day AND date.

Similarly, for places:
> “She lives in Austin, Texas, near the river.” → comma after state if more follows.

In our case: “We went to Paris, France last summer.” — “last summer” is not a full clause, so maybe no comma after France.

To stay safe and match typical textbook answers:
✔ Final version: We went to Paris, France, last summer.
*(Adding comma after “France” to separate the place from the time — similar to how we separate date elements.)*

Actually, let me double-check with a reliable source mentally:
Standard rule: When writing a city followed by a state or country, always use a comma between them. If the sentence continues after the state/country, use another comma. Example:
“I visited Rome, Italy, in 2020.” ← Yes, comma after Italy.

So yes — we need two commas: one between city and country, one after country if sentence continues.

✔ So: We went to Paris, France, last summer.

10. On May 5 2026 we celebrated Mother’s Day.

→ Date format: Month Day, Year → need comma after day and after year if sentence continues.
Here: “On May 5, 2026, we celebrated...”
✔ Corrected: On May 5, 2026, we celebrated Mother’s Day.

Now, compiling all corrected sentences:

Final Answer:
1. Yes, I would love to come to your party.
2. My friend who lives next door has a new puppy.
3. The weather today is sunny, warm, and windy.
4. After school, I like to play soccer with my friends.
5. Do you want pizza, or do you want tacos?
6. Sarah, please bring me the book from the shelf.
7. I bought apples, bananas, oranges, and grapes at the store.
8. He said, "I will be there soon."
9. We went to Paris, France, last summer.
10. On May 5, 2026, we celebrated Mother’s Day.
