Punctuation rules:

  • We always need a comma after an adverb clause if the clause comes at the beginning of a sentence. Example: Unless you are very hungry, we should wait to eat with them.
  • It is true that we should never use a comma before a clause beginning with "that". It is possible, however, to substitute it for "which", and then use a comma. For example: The bag that was found by the guard is mine. VS The bag, which was found by the guard, is mine.
  • We use commas to set off an adjective clause when the information it provides is not essential for the meaning of the sentence. The example above applies here: The bag, which was found by the guard, is mine.
  • All sentences in question 19 are punctuated correctly, and they follow the rules discussed above.
