Commas (in cities & states)
by Mr. Rodriguez
2
Commas in cities & states
Example: "We live in Houston, TX."
3
We use a comma when writing out a city and its state. The comma goes between the city & state. (REMEMBER: Capitalize the city & BOTH letters of the abbreviated state.)
Examples:
We live in Houston, TX.
I'm travelling to Los Angeles, CA.
I am originally from Chicago, IL.
He is visiting from Miami, FL.
4
Keep in mind... We should still apply the other comma rules that we've learned so far!
Introductory clauses... (Later that day, we went to the mall.)
Transitions words... (However, I was exhausted!)
Appositive phrases... (Ms. Garrison, my teacher friend, brought me Starbucks!)
