Use commas to separate independent clauses when they are joined by any of these seven coordinating conjunctions: and, but, for, or, nor, so, yet.
2. Use commas after introductory a) clauses, b) phrases, or c) words that come before the main clause.
3. Use a comma to shift between the main discourse and a quotation.

Active and Passive

Active voice- Verbs are written with the subject performing the process.
Ex:
Ram killed Raven 

Passive Voice- Verbs are written with the subject receiving the action expressed by the verb.
Ex:
Raven was killed by Ram. 

- In my opinion the voice that we should be using is the passive one because it makes more sense when you talk in that voice.

Put a comma before a coordinating conjunction that separates two independent clauses.
2. Put a comma after introductory words, phrases, or clauses in a sentence.
3.  Use commas to set off elements that interrupt or add information in a sentence.

Active - the subject is doing the action
Ex: Kevin hit the ball

Passive - the subject of the sentence is acted on by the verb
Ex:  The ball was thrown by the pitcher

We should be using active voice because it gets right to the point and eliminates unneeded words. ]]> 2018-03-20 12:15:38 UTC https://padlet.com/christina_zacharias/EngIIIPer1_CommasAndVoice2018/wish/243952813 Comma Rules halle_spicer https://padlet.com/christina_zacharias/EngIIIPer1_CommasAndVoice2018/wish/243955739 1. A comma should be used to set off elements that interrupt or add information in a sentence.
2. Use commas after introductory clauses, phrases, or words that come before the main clause.
3. Use commas to separate independent clauses when they are joined by any of the seven coordinating conjunctions.

Active voice-  the subject performs the action denoted by the verb. 
Example- He mailed the letter

Passive voice- the subject of the sentence is acted on by the verb.
Example- The ball was thrown by the pitcher.

I think we should should use the passive voice because it is more clear when talking. ]]> 2018-03-20 12:21:36 UTC https://padlet.com/christina_zacharias/EngIIIPer1_CommasAndVoice2018/wish/243955739 Comma rules paula_lucarinig https://padlet.com/christina_zacharias/EngIIIPer1_CommasAndVoice2018/wish/243956208 1. When a subject or object is made up of two items and the second item is parenthetical, you can set off the second item with commas—one before it and one after it.

2. When an adverbial phrase begins a sentence, it’s often followed by a comma but it doesn’t have to be, especially if it’s short. As a rule of thumb, if the phrase is longer than about four words, use the comma.

3. You can  use a comma with a shorter phrase when you want to emphasize it or add a pause for literary effect.

Active voice:
When the verb of a sentence is in the active voice, the subject is doing the acting.
Example: He opened the door.
Passive voice:
A verb is in the passive voice when the subject of the sentence is acted on by the verb. 
Example: The door was opened by him.

I think we should use the active voice because it's more direct and you use less words.

Put a comma before a coordinating conjunction that separates two independent clauses.
2. Put a comma after introductory words, phrases, or clauses in a sentence.
3.  Use commas to set off elements that interrupt or add information in a sentence.

Active voice- subject performs the action of the verb. He was driving the car. 
Passive voice- the subject receives the action of the verb. The pitcher threw the ball. 

We should use active voice more.

Active:  the subject performs the action denoted by the verb.

Passive: subject being acted upon by the verb.
EX- The flat tire was changed by Cathy. 

Active voice should be used because it is easier to say the sentence, it's more clear.

2. Active and passive 
- Active- the subject is doing the action 
Ex: John threw the ball. 
- Passive- the subject of the sentence is acted on by the verb 
Ex: The ball was thrown by him. 

- We should do Active voice because he gets right to the point and doesn't contain unwanted words.

3. A comma can be used to set off elements that interrupt or add information in a sentence.
Active voice is the subject performs the action denoted by the verb. 

Example:He went to the basketball game. 

Passive voice is when the subject of the sentence is acted on by the verb.

Example: The ball was thrown by the little boy to his brother. 

We should use the passive voice because it gives a more clear understanding of who is doing the action and why they are doing it.
